    They should be embrassed that they are so inept they couldn't grit the city.

    I ended up avoiding the main roads because of the traffic. The minor roads were like glass but if you took it slow and stayed in a high gear it was perfectly doable. I got up Arbour hill with a bit of a run up. Very slippy around there too.

    Interesting the only people spinning and going nowhere were all on the main roads. The people ducking down the minor roads seemed to know they were doing and I didn't see anyone slipping there, even though the roads were much worse.

    After driving in, its still like a skating rink everywhere. I think they put sand on all the major routes which helped the grip to get around. They are driveable, still seen vehicles spinning all over the place, be careful and you be grand.

    Good luck when you stop at red lights, its a pain starting off again!! (hence some people didn't stop!)

    Just wondering what conditions are like getting to Dame street from the M4? And then from Dame street to Morehampton road?
    Need to make that trip tomorrow. Thanks.

    Based on current forecasts it will be free from showers of hail/snow but frost and fog will be the major issues with no sign of even a temporary thaw. In short, it's more of the same on the roads:(

    Thanks for the response mate. I haven't been in Dublin since before Christmas. I presume the roads are not impassable?
    Also, anyone know if there are many taxis working, in case I need a plan B!

    Roads in Dublin are 99%+ passable. The awkward bit is how passable they are at any one time. Main roads will be generally grand but slow; back roads will be anything from ok to dangerous. What time of the day will also have a bearing on your timings.

    There should be taxis around but again it will be hard to predict how many given the conditions.

    There was a woman speaking on Pat Kenny's radio show yesterday (Thursday) talking about people who are housebound in Aughrim and Shillelagh due to snow; guess it isn't at all good down there on that basis. There is a mention to avoid high ground in Wicklow and Wexford if it help.
