Das Biest aus der Wüste war das perfekte Beispiel dafür, dass wir mit winterlichem Wetter überhaupt nicht zurechtkommen und dass wir unsere Lektion aus dem Frost von 2010 nicht gelernt haben. Aber glauben Sie, dass sich seit 2018 viel geändert hat, damit das nächste Biest aus dem Osten besser zu bewältigen ist?

I also implore you to share some of your beast from the east photos because despite all the chaos I quite enjoyed seeing all the snowfall
I remember making snow angles with my ex and being ridiculously happy!
No, there will be panic, and people will flock to stock up on the most perishable goods and toilet paper. You better start hoarding your toilet paper now
aren’t even ready for the next mild shower let alone snow
Beast from the East was an amateur compared to 1984 or whenever it was
Well I have my shorts and vest tops ready and waiting…yes I’m that person.

Gotta stock up on the Saxa salt
It’s all run and games til the pipes freeze.
Unless there’s a flood risk, I don’t envision people ever prepping for things like this. We tend to have the attitude of, „Sure look, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it“. This happened last time and the country panicked and bought up all the bread on the shelves if you remember.
No, good job it will be 15C and rainy for the rest of this winter
Something something North Atlantic Current
Only things I remember about that are making a snowman out the back and seeing all the videos from that Lidl in Tallaght being looted by fellas wearing designer clothes
As it’s a rare event it’s not worth investing money in preparation when most of that money would never be used. It’s the same here or in the UK or anywhere that gets this kind of weather very infrequently.
When it happens everyone will complain that we’re not as prepared as countries that have this weather routinely every year, but nothing all that bad will happen and then it’ll clear up and get back to normal and nobody will be interested in diverting taxes from other things so we’re better prepared when it happens again a decade or two later.
I was on a Dublin Bus, the 41, coming down through Santry. A single decker – remember those!
Anyway the snow was so deep the driver made all the lads get out and push the bus for about half a mile. While he “supervised”.
Wish I had pics of the 4 foot long icicles hanging from my gutters. Never seen anything like.
> Are we prepared for…
No.
There has definitely been investment in salt barns over the last few years, who knows if it’s enough or overkill.
Work from Home availability is obviously widespread since covid so our economy is more prepared in that sense.

Cork – Mahon Point junction. Enjoyed the few days break and we still had power. Would be wfh now with kids 😅
No
I was 20 weeks pregnant at the time working in healthcare, called my manager and told her I wasn’t comfortable driving myself to work but I’d try my best to get a taxi in…………she made the suggestion that I walk the 7km like an older male colleague of mine did the day previous 🥴
Not according to carlow weather & he’s usually bang on
Just waiting for all the people to comment about their winter tyres
I still remember that Centra video involving the bread trolley coming in and it being empty by the end of it, and then that [Lidl store getting robbed at night with a JCB ](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dOAcOjWbhVY)
We’re not even ready for an average Tuesday day of traffic on the M50.
