    Hard to know how much more fell over night but it's coming down steadily today. A small drift against my back and front doors. It certainly feels like this will still be with us for the weekend unless the thaw is rapid.

    That warning yesterday for 4pm was a bit premature in my view, could easily have been pushed out to 6 or 7pm.

    You know it wasn't specific to Waterford, right? It started elsewhere.

    How very dare you! even the dogs on the streets of dublin town know the epicenter of the known universe is the Apple Market in Waterford City.

    right call in my view, humans have a tendency to ignore warnings with specific timing anyway, so it was a good idea to have the streets and roads empty by the time it truly kicked in

    I know that (thanks for the weather lesson though). But by 6pm even on the news conditions were still pretty much the same all over the country as they had been since early yesterday morning so a push out to 6pm would have been reasonable.

    If they'd changed the 4 PM to 6 PM and got caught out the Met would get pelters as would the gubberment and the kind of people who complain about being too cautious would complain about being left stranded out due to poor forecasting. It's always best to go with a conservative timeline. Weather can change very quickly.

    City Square, Georges Court, Tesco and LIDL closed today. Looks like Aldi and Ardkeen Stores pushing ahead with a later opening time. Think its disgraceful myself. What are staff to do? If you don't go in, you won't get paid more than likely. Awful situation to be put in. :rolleyes:

    They know it's coming and have well insulated homes, 1000s of snow ploughs, trains and trams systems that are designed for sustained snow/freezing temps. We just go "OMG!" Which is fair enough really. It could just as easily be mid teens and humid in early March.

    Really deep snow, hard to walk around even. Theyre saying its a 40 minute wait to get in the door of Spar Kilcohan. Heffernans pub at Kilcohan open now apparently and Katty Barrys saying they will open at 4pm. I was out earlier, didnt see anything open, some people walking around but only vehicles moving were emergency services, deep snow on the streets.

    I imagine going to a pub, having a few and then trying to walk home would be very fun

    Tempted but not worth it tbh

    Yeah appealing to have a pint in front of the fire at Katty Barrys alright...but getting home might be problematic, especially later when its colder again. Was hard enough walking around earlier as it was, never mind adding a few bottles to the situation!
