Now that The Beast From The East has come and gone was there anything in particular you enjoyed durning this major weather event? For me it was spending some good quality time with the family which i normally wouln'd get to do. Also watching people scramble to get bread. It was if the country was going to be shut down for a month and their lives depended on a slice pan. Did you survive without Brennn's slice pan? Looking forward to hearing posters stories.

I enjoyed the banter with my family and neighbors. I got some nice photos and video clips during the week. Something to look back on in years to come.

If no milk left, plain vanilla ice cream or baileys in coffee works... depending on the time day

Butter also works.

Went to Citywest earlier as Dunnes was opening at 1pm. Had to go past the Lidl, sad sight, but what was worse were the sheer number of burnt out cars or with smashed windows. Any car that got stuck was fair game it seems. So depressing being from this part of Dublin. Some absolute braindead scum live here.

Dunnes was crazy also, like a scene from black friday sales in the US. 50-60 people allowed in at a time. Queues all back outside and around the carpark, some queing since 10am apparently. I somehow arrived at 12:30 and was in the first lot into the store. Lots of pushing, shoving, grabbing and a few scuffles. Dogs running around the place also. Don't call this place the wild west for nothing.

Hiked home with a backpack full of milk, tea, meat and other essentials. My parents were happy to see me. My brother in law got the essentials also, few boxes of beer and some crisps!

As a shareholder in Brennan's Bread I quite like my new Ferrari

Is looting now the official pastime for disadvantaged Dubs when a bit of snow arrives?

Heard there was a break in in a jewellers in Athlone also, they went in through the roof apparently.

What a rubbish thing to say. I saw three frozen ducks yesterday. They were frozen to death.

I popped out to do a bit of shopping this morning and it was silly stuff. Went to put back a few bananas that were a little overripe and this oul wan called me 'fussy'. I laughed at her at first but then I realised that she was serious. Bread, milk, eggs and alcohol, of course, seem to be the items in demand. The fishmongers was very quiet and they had a good selection so we picked up some nice bits in there.

We had some huge drifts in East Carlow but big thaw set in now and roads have been well cleared.

Mods removing posts again I see.

For all the foreigners laughing at us... Would other countries leave slush on footpaths?

Bet the American's wouldn't because they'd be ready to sue.

A snow bank has just been raided in Tallaght.

I am so fed up of being stuck with my family! I hate to say it but apart from sleeping I haven't had 2 minutes to myself without someone talking to me! And talking about nothing. I know it's terrible, I can't even go for a pint with my friends because they are all snowed in further away we're as I can walk. Mother of God this is cabin fever at its finest. And don't say go for a walk. When I go for a walk, someone always wants to come with me. Rant over!

Lots of melting going on in Dublin 8 with me hurrah! Long may it continue might actually be able to do something tomorrow!

shayp83 · 03-03-2018 05:17PM

Is there any advantage of going out and clearing the drive way of snow or will i just wait till it melts? The car is not going anywhere any time soon with the estate roads still covered

I wouldn't take it to heart - countries that have snow regularly of course have machinery and schedules to keep everything moving. It just wouldn't make sense to have the same in Ireland for a once-a-decade event such as this.

Garda we know was saying that to us. He was a bit puzzled by it because they are not stealing from the cars or burning them out, round here. They are just smashing windows, indicators, wing mirrors etc.

I'd leave it til tomorrow. There is no serious snow forecast, so it'll continue to melt. A good amount of that will have melted by then, saving you half the work.

Someone cleared the roads near me.
Great you'd think but they pushed the snow in a way that left big banks of snow outside everyone's gate.

If someone is going out shovelling, just dig a channel towards the nearest drain. That way when it melts it won't pool and get sloppy.

Our estate road is fully cleared now. Not sure who did it but it wasn't with shovels.

One of the neighbours had spent the morning shoveling in front of his house too

Seen JCBs going around clearing estates

Guys. I want to post a photo here.
Can someone tell me how to post an attachment from the mobile site?
There's no paperclip attachment symbol.

Coupled with the fact that at least one of their mega stores was on lock down following the Jobstown Riot and supermarket attack last night. Security had the doors locked and were only permitting access on request and No cash - card only transactions.

Sounds like a tall tail. Where?

I went up to Tesco airside there for when it opened at 11am, it was mental, you'd think it was the end of days the way some of them were carrying on! It'll be back to normal by Monday or Tuesday and there was some woman with 6 loaves of bread.

Same in Clarehall.. one lad nearly knocked people over trying to grab foot long bread rolls that had just come out of the oven. He took about 12 of them.

Society wouldn't be long disintegrating if there was a serious event...
