    You are doing the point too much of a service by getting cross about it.

    We get snow but not the same as them ie. Poland . Dublin gets way more snow than London and is colder statistically but Paris gets a little more snow than us. The Norwegian site YO has all the stats. Every winter months in Dublin is on Average colder than London. Check out the site.

    This attitude from foreigners is really annoying. It is EIGHT YEARS since we had serious snow in this country. In Poland it is a regular occurance but not here. Do they honestly think we have the resources to deal with an event which might occur once or twice a decade, what are we supposed to do, rent an air craft hanger the size of croke park for salt? People aren't used to driving in snow cos we don't get any. I know someone who lived in Sydney who said Aussie drivers are useless in the rain so its not just here.


    Yes! Give us a miserable drizzly day any day and we're all over it. Its just what you're used to, it's totally unreasonable to expect the country to be 100% ready for an unprecedented event. Very ignorant way of looking at it.

    Does it absolutely infuriate anyone else when people say "ah Ireland is so dramatic, Canada/Poland/Austria get this weather all the time"?


    Eh yes but that is their climate. Absolutely head wrecking.

    Agree. Also just because they're cold doesn't mean they necessarily get big snowfall. I believe Moscow had their biggest 1 day snowfall ever recorded a few weeks back. 8 inches. Could be wrong but wasn't a mammoth total like you'd expect for their.

    Cork Snow shield still hanging around with vengeance throughout last night and today - while the rest of the county have been put under 5in of snow us poor folk up in North Cork have got basically nothing yet :( here's hoping tomorrow we will finally see something substantial.

    You guys on the southside have no idea what you're missing.

    Blizzard conditions, snow piling up. Visibility a real issue here with the drifting.

    We do know what we're missing and it's why we're sad :( there's 10cm on the ground here it's good but northsiders must have twice that..and spectacular blizzards to watch too

    Any reports from along the south coast? Looks like there could a fair depth before the storm even starts.

    Wow, didn't realise that, interesting if that's the case. Would have just assumed that that kind of snowfall would be regular enough for them.

    Are we actually expecting a blizzard, like a snow storm? I work in the health service and I have to go to work. I am sick of hearing the while country is going to stop on Thursday from 4pm until fri 12 noon, what about all the people who cant stop and have to make journeys. The Taoiseach is not giving much information for those people only scaring the crap out of them. What can we expect Friday morning? (on a practical level)

    I've learned so much over the last few days from you all. Your all amazing! Been a long time lurker and I've been gripped by all your updates!
    Snow just seems to be missing us here in north louth at the moment.. so frustrating!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,714 ✭✭✭sudzs


    Rte news right now is like a trailer for The Day After Tomorrow !! :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,078 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    -3.1c now in West Clare, which was the low temperature recorded last night. Cold one ahead!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,097 ✭✭✭Whiplashy


    Still feeling underwhelmed here on the Tipp/Kilkenny border. It's making attempts at falling, but it's just too light. Wind has picked up though. We have less ground coverage than we had first thing this morning, and even that wasn't impressive :(

    I missed 2010 because I was in the Middle East, and I wasn't born in 1982. This still is nowhere near the most impressive snow fall I've seen. I had such high expectations too :( And to top it all off I tried to make a snowman this morning, but the snow that has landed is too fine. I did manage to get a loaf of bread though!

    The wind, coupled with the weight of the snow will down trees easily.

    The sea is really coming alive. Looks like most in the east could do well in the next few hours

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    Celbridge at the moment ❄️❄️


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,101 ✭✭✭Ger Roe


    Nothing in Kilpedder, North Wicklow since 4pm. Only a light dusting on the ground from earlier falls this morning - verrry jealous of other parts at the moment.

    Temp currently -2c

    Lampost watching while listening to Christmas FM online and hoping for some seasonal cheer later tonight :)

    Huge falls here in Clonakilty with another incoming in next 20 minutes or so!

    At least 8cm snow depth in places currently in Southside of Cork

    Pet peeve it gets on my goat saying blizzard like tomorrow. It won't be blizzard like, it will be an actual blizzard. Has blizzard like in warning.
