    Hasn't stopped snowing all morning in Cork. On top of yesterday's snow, I haven't ever seen anything like this in my whole life. It's way more than our last snow in 2010.

    Woke up to the windows plastered with compacted snow, drifts of 3 foot or more, what seems to be a dune in the back garden which has buried the shed and the table on which we'd put bird food. Neighbour's car abandoned at the top of the road. Snow's still coming down. Unbelievable.

    When it starts thawing, how would you prevent falls if you were to go outside? I'm so unprepared, the only shoes I've got are a pair of runners.

    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.

    People were still saying this about Storm Ophelia even after people died. Ya know, because it wasn't that bad in Dublin and nowhere else exists.

    Crawling around on your belly greatly reduces injuries from falls.

    Dont go out.
    If you have to go out put socks over your runners... have never tried that myself... seems a bit bear grylls.
    Go out during daylight so you have better idea of conditions.
    Shuffle walk...take short steps with you feet pointed slightly outwards.

    Complete eejits. These would then be the same people giving out that people died. Best off to ignore the ignorance.

    Some poor lad broke his neck in Cork when out for a walk with his father.

    Poor father called an ambulance then collapsed at the scene

    Also wearing black and white clothing helps.

    I was talking about Ophelia. This time around I've seen plenty of whinging from Donegal direction that "it only made the news because Dublin's getting a bit of snow". No idiot, it's because it's a huge weather event affecting most of Europe

    An event like this is a great way to differentiate (and block) the idiots on my facebook feed.
    There really is no talking to some people.
    Of course some are simply trolling.

    Gone here... We were getting an estimate of 10:45 but that hasn't happened. Fair play to the esb crews out in that, snow and wind getting worse if anything at the moment!

    The road at the back of the airport is blocked by abandoned cars. Something that will have happened at lots of other places.

    Some ambulances were stuck for a few hours on the roads too.
