was in college with a load of canadians. they could not comprehend how the whole country shut down on a snow day. one lad said they’d need >6ft of snow overnight before even thinking of a snow day at home. this is ridiculous.
Must be a Kerry man joke in here somewhere
Seriously
Anyone abandoning cars on the road should be getting points and a fine, it’s not like the snow is a surprise or the trip is a matter of life or death
We must be the only country that can’t deal with a bit of snow. Absolute joke we are.
Are you from heeerrryyy
Damn cars
That Lidl definitely isn’t safe considering how people get with the snow.
Is it really that bad? It doesn’t look like it is….
We need another roundabout debate here.
But the sheeple are panic buying it’s not that bad whaagh waa waaa
PJ will have the buke out.
Ah here ffs. It’s not that bad at all. People need to get a grip or stay home if they are nervous.
Was just there this morning. Took 6+ hours to get back to Dublin
County final day?
I hear that that Lidl is horny for JCBs o•0
I know there will be plenty of stories like mine today.
But I lived in countries where it was the Law to have snow tyres between November and April.
And winter/snow tyres (not all-seasons) make driving in this kind of snow easy.
And yes we don’t have snow very often but they are also way better in icy and wet conditions.
It’s just pain changing them twice a year.
Was on the M6 today & went by 3 crashes within 20 minutes, it’s madness!
Why are they abandoning their cars?
As a Canadian this looks like summer time. What’s the problem?
Ol Pussyhands coming in with the important news today
That’s mad
Bríds and Marys across the country are putting in their orders for 251 Range Rovers to deal with these conditions as we speak.
Abandoned? Why?.. You can still drive slowly on snow.
Clueless idiots.
Those Irish Americans will have the last laugh
Lads the blatant abandonment of cars, you cant be doing that.
Bro this is like 2 cm of snow what is wrong with people ???
I cycle in this weather.
I went through that roundabout at 5pm today. No cars were abondoned. A jorry jackknifed on the tralee road.
The cars were just backed up all the way back into killarney.
The right tyres and it would not be an issue. It’s crazy how bad our level of knowledge on proper car maintenance is. It’s an absolute disgrace people are driving around on summer tyres that don’t work under 6-7degrees in snow and ice. You wouldn’t be let on the roads in other European countries on summer tyres in the winter. Only in Ireland we blame the government and council for our own failures.
Geniuses driving I. The snow for unnecessary journeys no shovel no gravel no sand no plan b
Not a winter tire in sight. Oh Ireland, will you ever learn.
I’m in Canada so have Winter tiers to avoid this. But I’ve heard of people keeping cat litter in their boot to help get extra traction for bad snow and ice. Someone should run into lidl there and help clear everyone off road.
This video is taken in the Lidl carpark. The roundabout is ~100 meters away and regularly backs up.
They get this much snow once every 5 or 10 years, people around there mostly get the cheapest tyres going, rubbish summer tyres mostly.
A little slush does not stop Boston
Why in the fuck would anyone do this? And how is it legal? It probably isn’t surely. They should be fined
