Supposed to do that 5k race round the river tomorrow but looking outside maybe not be on...

[imtommygunn]

I wish people would stop whinin about the weather. It's Ireland. Read a book FFS. Stay at home. Comtemplate your navel hair. Write a story. Talk to your ma. Get out in the weather and embrace it. You're feckin alive. Patrick Swayze.

You need a backup with a power supply not affected by storms.

Got stuck in the car on the Glenshane Pass last night at about 7 15 pm Mountain rescue got us out about 3.30 am, made it home after 4 to find electric out on the house and the place like a fridge, an eventful night all in all

How much snow are you folk getting? News reports I've seen didn't mention a total.

There are not many four-wheel drive vehicles there, no? Going uphill without that in a heavy snowfall, especially on an uncleared road, is a bear.

[supersarsfields]

Has there been any word of lights being affected at all? We've nothing over here in Liverpool but wondering if we'll be affected in Belfast?

Was one hell of a nite. I would say that if this snow storm were to have happened during the cold spell at the start of the year we would have been looking at a depth of snow of around 50cm but due to the snow melting as soon as it landed in the early stages this only left us with about 15-18cm's.

f*ck sake - electric still out from 8.30 last night and no sign of it coming back on.

[tyrone girl]

Yep think ours at home still out from that time last night as well - it better be on when i get home i couldnt stick another long night like last night

[Mhic Easmuint]

Electric off at home as well and mobile coverage down as well.  Not great when work from home.

Heard from a couple of sources that it could be as much as a week before supply is restored fully there is that much damage to poles/cables etc.

[Farrandeelin]

Nephin mountain got a good dash of snow as well.
