PERHAPS UNSURPRISINGLY, Monty Burns is not best pleased with the result of this years US elections.
And he’s taken some time to explain the “upcoming fiscal cliff”…

Too cold to snow they used to say.
@David Dickson: i never understood that saying when it snows in Russia at -28 degrees.
@Maggie O’Connor: Then you don’t understand Ireland’s climate.
@Maggie O’Connor: it snows at even lower temperatures there….and everywhere
Well summed up here:

@David Dickson: not entirely true but there is something behind it.. the colder the air the less water it can hold. Based on precipitation amounts Antarctica meets the criteria of a desert and is referred to as a polar desert.
@Maggie O’Connor: We only get very cold weather with clear skies, which won’t produce snow. Hence the phrase.
It looks like Winter weather for December.
@Fiona deFreyne: dry and cold..great winter weather. More met Eireann hyperbole
@Misanthrope: it’s usually the media that hype it up. Just look at met e app. Pretty straight forward.
@Philip King: true. Good point.
In summary, bad weather of some sort everywhere lads.
Dublin city was really hard hit yesterday.
I saw a few flakes of snow which melted as soon as they hit the ground but it could have been a terrible and life threatening blizzard, even though it wasn’t.
@Fiona deFreyne: I see snowfalkes all the time in the Journal comments section.
Sure didn’t see a sign of it today. I’d say we’ll be grand.
I’ve just been down to SuperValu and cleared the shelves of bread and milk…..even though I don’t eat bread. It’s the law.
Theresa Mannion where are you?
@Kevin Slater:
Galway
@Kevin Slater: she’s only good for rain storms!
@Anto Mahon: Salthill
@Mr. H: and a lot of wind
Quick! Gather your family indoors. And consume your iodine tablets before it’s too late!
Snow? I’d say a bit of frost and be careful of the the roads tomorrow, that’s all they had to say.
@Mr Mystery: more fake dramatic weather forcasting…schools closed till wednesday..
Where’s my surfboard?
Seems to be a stepback on yesterdays warnings. Snow Joke.. http://www.thejournal.ie/snow-weekend-warning-saturday-ireland-3739542-Dec2017/
Are the weather alerts just for snowflakes?
#pinchofsalt
Is it time to crack open our skulls and feed on the goo inside?
Yellow snow warning? Could be worse there’s no brown snow warnings yet.
After all of these warnings you will still Idiots driving like lunatics .
@Alan Scott: indeed, you will still idiot
@Alan Scott: dude you’re missing a verb.
@Alan Scott: so true.
Well, I just want snow. In the south of Galway just before the Clare boarder. My Christmas wish. Just like every year.☃️
Up to 8cm
@pkzip *.*: heavy snow here in New York. All snow equipment is full swing. Everything normal !!
@Mike Edgeworth: but will you see 8cm?
@pkzip *.*: 3 inches … Irish women will be confused
@Mike Edgeworth: lucky you to live in America, great country, but I would hate to live in a high rise apartment in the major cities, but it will eventually become the norm in ei due to the population increase of population on our planet
Sometimes the weather is the news.
All too frequently it is becoming the norm to report it as a new event…
We live in Ireland !!!
yellow snow warning.. dont eat it folks..
Wers me uggs
auful stuff was told Orange warning for my area since Friday for snow and ice but our fields still green and floods wet
@johnkilleen: wet and mild in Kildare. Armagedon hasn’t hit yet. Surely not another Met Eireann coveryourarse over forecast!
I drove from Wicklow to Dublin tonight (just home now 1.35am) and the rain became heavy enough – I took it easy but was constantly overtaken on the way home by idiots on the 120km section of road!
On the way to Dublin was pleased to see the trucks putting out salt on the roads and that was fabulous to see – proactive decision making and I did one will be sad if we don’t get a bit of snow!
3:30 and its only raining…..damn why did i stay up ?….more false news
Hopefully there is no more IRISH homeless dying on our streets tonight but unfortunately are elite have turned against them while they sit on their fat over fed smug backsides
have your say
