Sparkleby

N81 Blessington to Tallaght - slush & ice, no sign of overnight gritting. Passable with caution - alot of black ice around the embankment and 4 abandonned cars to watch out for.

Laskeshore drive - Lacken to Ballyknockan not gritted, passable only in 4x4 preferably with chains/snow tyres. Have just had to tow a Micra (!) off the road. Valleymount - gritted 3 days ago, still slush/ice and passable with extreme caution

Why wasnt the army deployed two weeks ago using sand from the beaches to grit the roads. It's embarrassing.

on the sand issue there is law in place from the enviroment minister preventing the removal of sand from beaches even by local councils

-6.1 in Adee at the moment and going down fast. I work in Dublin and didn't make it up this morning. The roads had not been gritted and looks like more of the same for tomorrow.
Took me 5 hours to get home yesterday. Made a snowman with the children .

-5.2 here in Goatstown. Freezing fog

Rural roads outside of Ardee, Co Louth are terrible and really at this stage are virtually impassable. I live 6 miles northwest of Ardee and it took almost an hour to make a normally 10 minute trip. There are a lot of steep hills and even the 4x4's are struggling to get up the hill, particularly one at Glack/Mountrush. I believe it is similar in Collon and Smarmore.



This road is one of the ones in better condition :rolleyes:

(apologies for the size of the picture!)

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.

No mention of Rathdrum or Glenealy in aaroadwatch update. Need to travel through there to get to Dublin tomorrow from Aughrim. Anyone any info? Cheers.

Anyone know what the N11 is like today in Co. Wicklow?

Drove from Dundrum, onto the M50, off at the Red Cow, down the Nangor Road and into Parkwest.

Was fine all the way. Very little traffic at 8.30.

Not good now around Greystones. V heavy snow and roads like rinks. The ice is now hidden under a white blanket. Took some very long slides before stopping. Coming home will be a mare if you do go to work i would say.

Anyone been driving around Dundrum shopping centre to Dublin 18, or vice versa? I was thinking about heading there in an hour or so but I'm not sure what the conditions are like.

I assume it's best not to take any roads that are hilly!

Thanks for posting that. I was going to drive from Wicklow to Greystones and get the DART in as usual but thought the roads would have gotten worse after last night.

anyone have a current status on the M50

spockety

M50 between Firhouse and Dundrum was 100% perfect at 11am. Wet but not icy.

I drove the same route this morning.
Slow lane on M9 is clear & safe, most people doing 40mph.
Overtaking lane is mainly compacted snow/slush.
The M7 was perfect in both lanes, cars were doing 60mph no bother.
