Do you know if Clonkeen College Deansgrange and Cluny in Killiney are closed?

My two sons and daughter are itching for 'good' news. :rolleyes:

Personally I think they should be. There'll only be severe injuries with the state of the roads here on Avondale.

It would appear that everybody is leaving work early in Dublin resulting in one big traffic snarl up. My advice would be stay in work until 5 and the worst should be over in terms of traffic and snow!

Roads around KCR 10 mins were slippy

Absolutely typical :rolleyes: One snow shower and its the end of the world ! Ireland for you.

Snowing heavily outside Leixlip again - Lets hope the country grinds to a halt and we need sleigh dogs instead of scrappage schemes!

Typicall Irish red tape. Jaze. Called the school to see if its open tomorrow. No answer, called Dept of Ed, they say schools open at their own discretion??? its blizzarding here in Lucan, and the schools havent bothered to contact parents. The school my daughter attends in on a hill in Lucan. I imagine that in the morning its going to be one very dangerous spot. Can it be so hard for them to have some announcement on the answer machine?

It would seem to me that the band is dying out with the last of the clouds in between the Isle of Man and Wicklow now, could one of the experts comment on this? Is that the end of it or are we to expect more?

If I don't hear anything by 5 o'clock, then I'll take it that both will be open. Would be very surprised if it were to be the case mind you.

about 40 minutes of snizzle flurries now not really amounting to anything extra on the snow we've had over past week. The initial part of todays snow brought about an extra quater to half a cm. I think were at the end of the snow band now and the Irish sea looks totally clear from here on for the moment.

I refer to your piece in bold - Yes you can though.

If you use it the way to suit yourself and others you end up with something disgusting as reflected in post 2539

A brief snow shower moved over Southwest Mayo and then out to sea at 12.30, heavy in some spots, but nothing stuck, temps are between 2° and 3° outside.
