Big Freeze Discussion / Heavy snow & Blizzards continue - 02/12/2010

I'm getting mighty sick and tired of it all now. Had to walk home from Dublin city centre to Lucan yesterday because the shaggin buses came to a standstill. It took 3 hours. Took a snow day from work today but that cant continue. Anyone got the slightest idea when this weather will pass?

Dark angry looking clouds coming in over Wicklow town from the sea!!!

Alicat · 02-12-2010 05:47PM

Snow has changed in the past ten mins, now huge big swirly flakes, as opposed to the smaller faster flakes all day

that's some trek, I've done it in the summer but in this weather, WTF?!? :eek::eek::eek:

Anyone think there'll be a slight shift in wind direction so that Enfield might get a taste of what Dublin's experiencing? Hasn't been even a flutter of snow here since the early hours this morn.

Am I right in thinking the radar is showing precip from roughly a NNE direction at the moment? Or have I got that completely wrong?

DOCARCH · 02-12-2010 05:50PM

30cm of snow here now (measured where it's flat and level), up from 21cm this morning. Still chucking it down!

Anybody with a dodgy attic conversion watch out!

KizzyMonster · 02-12-2010 05:50PM

Snowing again now in Trinity College...
Not as heavy as before but much bigger and fluffier flakes...

My apartment is opposite the O2 so I have a perfect view of the utter chaos there. Sooner or later a lorry isnt going to make it over the bridge and its game over.

SC, I pose the question .... If the friggin East Link is a paid commodity.... why the hell arent they out clearing it if you must pay to use the poxy thing ???????:eek:

Some amount of snow has fallen in the last 2 hours, i'd say around 2-3 inches.

Everything is at a standstill!

The NNE is the wind for here!:D:D

darkman2 · 02-12-2010 05:53PM

Malahide - heavy, thick, fluffy snow.

Jaysus. Thats some distance. I walked from Grafton Street to Finglas yesterday, and I though that was bad!

Hoping I won;t have to do it again today

Haha that's hilarious you're looking for more snow and the last time you had it was only a few hours back!:D We had one measly shower on Monday and that was it!!!:mad:

Xxhaylsxx · 02-12-2010 05:54PM

NNE means what for us in meath? even less of a chance?

we all told him not to go as well, is he completely stranded or is help on the way?

Supercell · 02-12-2010 05:55PM

Its happened, big truck stuck on east link, no way a friendly push is moving that

I was halfway to Chapelizod when I realised that I could have done that, but I am a fair distance away from Adamstown too, more the Liffey Valley end of Lucan. Its a head melter, if this keeps up I will have calves the size of tree trunks, not a good look in the Christmas party frocks

irelandspurs · 02-12-2010 05:55PM

Bright sunshine all day,hope the clouds head toward portarlington,could see them in the distance over dublin.

davemc6832 · 02-12-2010 05:55PM

Bucketing down at the moment!

Rougies · 02-12-2010 05:56PM

Jean Byrne on RTE1 now talking about big freezes of the past!

Next time get train to parkwest or clondakin, it will save you a bit.

tell him we said he's a clown.

some people just don't listen. i've heard of people's bosses flat out denying that anything much is even happening (even tho they're sitting in the centre of it all) and making people work a full day in dublin city even with all the crap that's going on and then expecting everyone to drive/bus/train/walk hours in the snow to get home.
