Out getting supplies for snowmageddon at the moment - people (not me) are starting to panic buy here, lidl shelves were getting stripped of water, milk, ping pong balls, crochet sets and digital micrometers.

Is this the end, my friend?

It's our tyres that leave us down compared to the euro people.

They have legal requirements for changing over to winter tyres, which would make untreated backroads quite drivable. Such a legal requirement makes sense in euroland but we have a warm temperate climate as the norm on this island. This snow is utter freak stuff for us.

We shouldn't have shut the country though. That was an over-reaction. We could have just operated that bit more slowly and patiently and kept everything open.

I know you mean in general but winter tyres wouldn't make any difference here today where I am.

All that I've seen pass today is a few tractors and jeeps, the Gardai have said many of the roads in Galway are impassable and the one outside my door is one of them so I'd challenge any Pole to make it through in a car and see how far they get.

Just looked down that side of my house where there is a low dividing wall with my neighbour, it'll be invisible soon. I really should go out for a ramble and take some pix and yet why would do that when it's warm in here? Speaking of which the electric bill is going to about twice the average I'd say, maybe more.

Was reading that there’s more snow forecast for next weekend? Is that true or will it be gone by midweek?

Anyone who like me forgot cat litter ? Our cat never needs it normally but refusing to go out in knee high snow ! He was in a bit of a state and crossing his legs needing to pee . We just shredded some paper and spread it on a tray and hey presto the cat has total relief !!

NEVER seen a cat crossing their legs! Did you snap a pic?

Whether or not people agree with the need for a red warning, the attitude of the media has been worrying at times. Shades of the old East Germany about some of the statements. Like this from the Indo: "And while people are now allowed to go outside, they are being urged not to make unnecessary journeys." ALLOWED!

Metaphorically speaking !!! but he was actually walking in circles and running from front to back door in the hope that it was not snowing outside one of the entrances !!

That doesn't worry me in the slightest.

Most of my friends are re-tweeting same jokes and pictures. Is nobody getting out and having fun anymore?

snow starting to melt in patches here but the wind would cut you in two. I am debating whether to let the kids out before it melts.

Am sick at the moment but what the hell. Going to head out for a few minutes. If I don't post again you will all know why.

Yes, proper snowflakes rather than all the fine dusty stuff we had earlier.

Best of luck in your endeavours and remember keep clear of the yellow snow:)

That advice is aimed at Indo readers. Nothing there to worry the rest of us.

Same in north Dublin, coupled with that wind today could be the peak here if it persists. Hadn't snowed all morning before now

My local pub had plenty of people last night all happy they had no work. Felt like a Saturday night out. Nice to see snow felt festive.

There's an awful lot of people out making videos in the snow in the obvious hope they'll go viral.

McCabes open and many have doctors with them til 5. If you can get near one then absolutely do. If it's Insulin you're missing then you shouldn't be cutting down on your dose or missing any.

Another 70yo diabetic man with no heat in house. Only a small fan heater which KEPT HIM ALIVE last night; as Waterford Council refused him proper assistance. No-one calls in to see him. In Waterford CITY!
Shameful.
