It’s been snowing in portlaoise alright but only little bits. Yesterday there was hardly anything. Maybe a slightly stronger breeze. Wednesdays snow was far worse. Total non event

Total non event? For you personally perhaps.

Maybe news to you but theres more to the world than your Portlaoise haven.

There is no one moving in our area today. Up over the knee in spots.

I think Mother Nature decided Portlaoise was already f*cked enough without the snow.

minikin · 02-03-2018 10:52AM

The natural cloying depression that inhabits Portlaoise was too strong for the storm to penetrate.

Did I say it was a nationwide non event or something? I was simply referring to where I was living. Pretty much nothing happened yesterday. It was worse wednesday

The_Valeyard · 02-03-2018 10:56AM

The Red Alert was definitely the right call.

The Dubs’ knowledge of electricity probably prevented it becoming an ‘event’ down there... “bloody blow ins, coming here buying houses and shopping in our shops”

I live on the verge of town. Had the car cleared at 12 yesterday. There’s barely 1/2” of snow on it now. And it’s in a pretty open space

Is it in a garage? 😀

The telly people keep saying "Don't leave your home!".

Eh, I'm a pedestrian, so I'm relatively grand...

Grand once an out of control car doesn't hit you :pac:

Careful now, the quality of the road surface is going down hill fast.

wheresmahbombs · 02-03-2018 11:15AM

I might have gotten a very short power cut last night, as my microwave's clock displayed 0:00 for a short period of time.

Yes an outdoor garage, with no walls or roof.

clairewithani · 02-03-2018 11:16AM

The giving out of some people on social media about the "let down" of snow. Same people as storm Ophelia almost. Say they wouldn't be happy unless people died.

I was thinking that when out for a walk yesterday on a particular stretch, i turned around and went elsewhere
I'd say any cars out in it had enough to be worrying about

Yup a bunch of people sleeping on the streets refused to go to emergency accomodation so they were sectioned for their own safety last night.

Idiots. Then people will be complaining how the government didn't get homeless people accomodation.

Went in the middle of my movie last night, gone most of the night but back just in time for me to be able to start working from home this morning.

Definitive proof that God is middle management.

fryup · 02-03-2018 11:32AM

@yermandan.............where are you?

minikin · 02-03-2018 11:33AM

Croke Park Accountants have objected to central council’s decision to postpone all games, they are now marketing tickets for GAA ON ICE this Sunday.

I havent seen anyone blaming Leo, sure he doesnt make the weather.

He didn't bring the weather of course.

But he did issue the over-the-top misplaced warning to shut the country down when it wasn't called for.

When a career politician who so carefully budgets for and manages their PR screws up so openly, you can't begrudge people their little bit of schadenfreude can you?

He is a leader for our times perhaps. An EU proxy, consulter, deferrer. But if the chips ever come down in this country a la real catastrophe, it is not the like of him you want at the wheel.
