    Just worth mentioning that when you step out of your front or back door its worth looking up as there is probably a massive overhang of snow and it could break off at any moment.

    And that stlll has happened in normal RTAs. The 9 deaths reported are directly attributed to the weather.

    Why are you and others like you refusing to accept that this is a major weather event and the Irish warning systems have saved lives and have been a success.

    Why people are so upset about being advised to be indoors during very bad weather is beyond me.

    attributed by whom? you and your friends?
    my dog died last week . should i put that down to the impending weather? these animals ave a 6th sense you know!:eek:

    yeah - it's the media. I wouldn't be surprised if they're doctoring people's cars to make sure the brakes don't work. Non event blah blah blah

    The UK haven't closed down their country because they have a bit of backbone.
    They faced down the Germans twice while we cowered in their shadow. A couple of inches of snow are going to see them closing down schools and public transport for a few days.

    Listening to our politicians telling is to stay indoors in case someone has a boo-boo is cringe-inducing.

    You really are talking a load of sh1te.

    You're just arguing for the sake of arguing and not contributing anything worthwhile or backed up with any facts.

    Not worth engaging with....good luck.

    It's OK to admit you were wrong. You don't have to keep pretending that there's no weather event happening just because you were originally dubious.

    This is pathetic, it hasn't snowed for hours and it's barely covering the grass now.

    I want my armageddon-style blizzard!

    Just don't cut the power or internet, everyone hates that ****.

    Yes, Winston Churchill would have fought the snow on the beaches but then eventually called in the American snow ploughs.

    Level of posting here is just getting worse.

    The war on snow wouldn't have been won without the Soviets of course. May collective will speed their plough!

    its ok to admit your argument is empty. just 'cos you panic over a few inches of snow, doesn't mean we all have to.

    i was in the local Polish shop earlier, and we all had a great laugh about the Irish reaction to snow. i explained to the girls it was mainly a Dublin thing.

    I'm sure the girls are eternally grateful to you for clearing that one up

    i've been banned from said forum for suggesting we've coming across as a nation of hysterical wimps who cant hack a few inches (oops! sorry CMs of snow).
    We are led/advised by a bunch of flaky Dublin-centric wimps, Riaanna Tubidy, Patricia Kenny, Josepine Duffy, Ciara Facnumb, and Lisa Veruka being the biggest woose of em all.
    :o:o:o

    There was a lot of snow though. A lot.

    Has it settled down weather wise for everyone else? Still being battered here in D3... horizontal bursts of sleet as I look out my window.

    No you weren’t. Polish people respect the weather. The obey red alerts and most importantly have snow tyres or snow chains. We don’t. Hence we can’t really stay open.

    The amount of people who have been taking to imaginary polish, Dutch and German tourists over the last while is worrying.

    I haven't panicked at all.

    I wouldn't call 50 cms of snow 'a few inches' by the way.

    Gas how you're another one of those amazing posters who speak to Polish people. Did you tell them about the 21 people homeless people who have died in Poland over the last couple of days. It''s hilarious.

    Funny thing is my local polish shop has been closed since Thursday.

    Also, your anti Dublin bitterness is obvious but most snow has fallen in Co Wicklow where I am located and Co Kildare.

    i'm not disagreeing with the presence of snow (i actually had to shovel some earlier you know!!!:eek:), just our girly, hysterical, Dublin-centric, woosie reaction to it.

    its beyond embarrassing. we're into Fr. Ted territory now.

    Says it all.

    No mention of the weather until the story about Ireland shutting down - embarrassing.

    I hope you found your jumper for the trip to the shop because it’s a bit cold out.
