I've Never Seen Snow Like This In Ireland Before

My driveway is mostly clear because I removed the bulk of the snow in the last two days. I'm thinking of recording a timelapse video of my car defrosting itself without me having to even go outside, but it will be impossible to get out on that road anyway so it might be a bit frivolous.

About 23,000 houses are without power in these conditions. If our power went out, the central heating would fail as well...

23,000 houses without power, Jesus!! That's really bad!! London is pretty bad but nothing like this... Take care!

Really cold here too. I feel for those with no heating

I'm loving it at the moment. Three feet of snow in the driveway and no work for the past two days. There is something really nice about snow that it clears the head and everything else.

Finally it is thawing!! Meltmadgeddon- madmageddon from cabin fever!

It's the snowpocalypse. My son is stunned by the changes out the window. I really need to go to work in my studio but the government still has us under Curfew.

Ooh good idea with the timelapse video...

I must say I'm loving the snow, in the SE of England, as a teacher, it's my second snow day in a row, and as I said in my last post... there ain't nothin' like a SNOW DAY!

Today would've meant a few hours on the front line, instead it's:

  • lay in
  • idle about on steemit
  • Homes Under the Hammer
  • gym/ sauna/ steam (steam and steem, sure I can make something of that!>)
  • soup
  • OK a bit of prep work
  • snooze maybe
  • dunno
  • PUB!

Oh yeah!

I usually start work at 6am. None yesterday and none today. We are all heading to the pub soon for a hot fire and a few pints.

Its unreal isnt it. I'm out in Meath and its like some weird end of days scenario. I've barely seen another person (other than the missus) or car driving by in days, its odd but weirdly calming too.

Big snow up here in Stepaside too :-)

Crazy.. I've always thought Ireland as a glommy rainy windy place but never snowy. Whats up with the weather seriously....

We do tend to get a bit of snow in the Winter, but this is way beyond normal, especially as it's technically Spring right now. The Winter in 1947 was worse than this but I wasn't alive back then..

2010 was the last time we seen snow like this, but I don't remember it ever being this cold. I've never been so aware how lucky I am to have a home and central heating, its times like these we really feel for the homeless.

On a more positive note I traded three Brennans pans for a car yesterday so that's good

Wow! This is really big! Sorry about the car..
Its a direct opposite here in Nigeria, its so sunny, you can roast a chicken under the sun. Lol

I have never felt its cold snow right away, but I can imagine and can try to know about the snow storms that occur in this hemisphere, my hope you @demotruk always good and awake your health condition.

the weather is very extreme there
I hope you guys are fine ...
in my country we have no winter ...

hopefully the condition can go back to normal, and the supply of electricity and gas does not stop because of the snow storm so that the room heater still works and you are all fine.

What!! Is that your steemit car?? This is a lot of snow. It's unfortunate it's hindering you from even leaving the house. And now the power part... oh no. Hope this ends soon.

Yes, it's mine.

We are fine, the worst of the blizzard is over I think.

Oh .Keep safe.

snow does not go down in my country, but I like the snow atmosphere even though I do not understand how life when snow comes. hopefully you continue to survive in full force to deal with it.

I can't wait to see the back of it.

Nice weather is coming in the next days. Thanks god. I have enough from the cold. Greeting from Germany.

Wow that is just ridiculous and here i am in Jamaica crying that i'm cold when a little wind blows i really feel it for you guys stay safe and as warm as possible inside.

you are uncomfortable with snow,
I really miss the snow
.
because in my country there is no snow.
hopefully next year snow come my country.
I really miss the snow.

I suggest you sprinkle some salt around. It will lower the melting point and you will have a free way to drive. I wish you all the time.

Kindly post the video if you make it.

My place will give u more chills
