Did a 10k circle trip coastal side of Ashford 2 wheel drive car
Wasn't an essential trip but an opportunity to get sliced pan for the kids!!
Anywhere the sun got at yesterday afternoon was thawed.
Passsed over the N11 twice and the overtaking lane is not gritted.
Anywhere in shade is snow/ice but there was no problem with traction.
I saw one patch of black ice.
Driving, although not for the faint hearted is fine providing you drive as the conditions dictate.
I did hear that Wicklow town is an ice rink which probably mean that the hills are basically not passible0 -

Dublin City Centre footpaths:
Take extreme care on Nassau Street, Dawson Street and the side roads leading on to Grafton street. Had to help two elderly men after they fell badly on those side roads. Both footpaths either side of Nassau street are like ice rinks- have not been treated at all. Had a few frights myself trying to walk to Pearse station, and tourists sliding everywhere! Very bad.
City centre roads seem ok, bit of slush but there are still people racing around. They're alot better than out the Dalkey/Dun Laoghaire direction anyway.
In Dun Laoghaire I hear there are still cars abandoned on Glenageary road lower- still impassable.
The parents tried to drive from Dalkey to Dun Laoghaire this morning and sailed through the lights at Glasthule- they were in a Discovery (and no, they are not the eejits who are think they're invincible in their 4x4s, they're experienced outdoorsy off roader types who know how to handle their vehicle and were driving very very cautiously- so lucky they didn't hit anybody, and won't be venturing onto the roads again today) - nobody is safe on these DLR roads, they're still terrible!
Thank god for the trains which are all still ok

Just to clarify-if theres a plus 5,it will be in sunny spots by the sea and maybe for an hour or two.grandmaster wrote: »Met Eireann is forecasting up to +5 tomorrow during the day in Dublin so hopefully that will help thaw the remaining snow and ice.
Inland south dublin will struggle to 3c
You'd need a week of plus 5's unfortunately as standing water and slush refreezes after 4pm.
You aren't going to get that and in fact you will be see'ing 1's and 2's max in Dublin next week and snow showers -so back to square one.
Sorry.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating and if you look at todaythe the Nra table Sandyford m50 at 2pm was air temp +1.8c which is a long way off 5c.
Tallagth is worse at 0.5c
And this is at the warmest point of the day.
Now I accept it might briefly get warmer tomorrow in sunshine...but look East

The roads around by nutgrove shopping centre are like skating rings, literally solid ice on some stretches. Driving up around the hill at the back of the shopping centre passed the staff car parks I got stuck and had to reverse cautiously back down the hill.....
it was a no go area unless you had a 4WD.. So anyone local around there be warned leave your car in the drive Because I promise you your going to get stuck. My volvo with stability control, traction control etc could not do it and my tyres were pretty decent.
The ignorance about 4WD is truly astounding!!!
They slip and slide on ice just like 2WD!
The *only* 4WD that is better are those with snow tyres/chains0 -
