    My friend in Tallaght just told water being turned off all night...

    That cloud on the radar looks interesting. What I like about this forum is I can stay by the fire refreshing the page until Jenzz or Trogdor announce snow in Bray. Then I get up and watch the clouds getting closer.

    Also, hats off to my neighbours. Pipe burst this morning (back garden tap, thankfully). Two neighbours on the road came by and sorted it out for me. They did the same for at least another two people on the road. Nothing like snow and plumbing disasters to bring about a bit of community spirit.

    Nothing yet but sky gone pink... where abouts in the town are you ?? We had no water this am.. Left it running 20 min & eventually exploded into the sink.. Thank Fcku !

    Time for a gratuitous snow pic.

    Road to Ashford, this was ploughed and gritted and then it snowed again today.

    In Enniskerry, just near the village. I'm hoping that burst pipe will be the only one. The upside is the dog will have his own private ice rink by morning...

    Can see city centre covered by a snow shower from my attic. Also looks like NE shower will hit Blanch maybe. The cloud base seems quite high so they are surprisingly visible in the gloom.
