Hm, getting bored with snow now...what is the Tramore road like? Is it dangerous?

I don't have to go to work today but will for the rest of the week, think I might get the bus. I doubt whether I could get off the estate in a car anyway, it was mad on Saturday and has been freezing since.

Edit - is the tramore bus running?

Psychedelic

The Tramore Road is fine and the Tramore-Waterford bus is running, I got it this morning and surprisingly it was on time.

Have been in since 10am very quiet here. No lecturers around at all, plenty of spaces in carpark though!

Check the weather section on this site. They seem to think met eireann have exaggerated things a bit.Any snow expected would appear to be north of Wicklow and into dublin and Louth but very little if any for down here.

They have been fairly spot on so far.

Hope I dont feel like comical Ali later.

Check M.T Cranium's daily weather forecast: The east will get a hammering tonight and tomorrow and we will get more snow I am sure.

Yeah, I've been checking his but the East is from Wicklow up to Louth - we're south east and from what I'm reading they dont seem to think it will be anything significant this far down - hope I'm wrong but they're fairly spot on

This seems to be a good guide and they refer to this a lot.

Ye looks like the east will be covered but these can change so quickly i for did not expect all that snow sat morning so if it was to change it could come south east , i heard on the radio south munster will get it too

Just listening to tv3 news they make out lots of countys will get snow but by looks of that raintoday site only dublin really getting it ..

dermo909

I would'nt really believe anything from a tv3 weather forecast! When I worked as a bike messenger in Dublin I used to watch the forecast on tv3 in the mornings just to see how wrong they would get it. They always got it wrong!

Am I the only one who is fed up with the snow and ice already?!

Waterford is going to get hit, I cant see much tonight maybe a few light showers, The fun starts from around 11 tommorow morning

jo06555

From look of latest images on this http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ its heading further south easterly , so we may see some hail or snow overnight , dublin seem to only have hail now , 9 news were just showing reporter talking ..

decies

Any more snow overnight i'n the city???

Musicman2000

Dont think so. But its not far away

Little bits falling here on the Dunmore road now.. Black clouds off to the south east where it's coming from.

That's one of the main hazards of being out and about today. These fcukers think it's just a bit of craic to be pelting cars with snowballs, but they have no conception of how upsetting that can be, especially for an old person or a girl on her own.

Last year there was a gang of little toerags around my area fcuking snowballs at houses in my estate. I called the guards, and they said it was too dangerous for them to be out. They're the bloody guards ffs, they're well paid to look after the rest of us! Front-line alliance me hole! :mad:

I'd advocate a good clip around the ear for any little fcuker throwing snowballs at anything other than their own mates. If I catch any of them on their own, they'll get a dig; problem is they're always in a gang, and then you can't do a bloody thing. :mad:

My friend was driving his van up by Roanmore GAA, had stopped at the traffic lights, he saw some teenager lads rolling snow balls and thought "ah here we go the van is going to get snowballed"....instead....when the lights went green and he started to move off the young lads opened the back of his van and pelted in the back of the head with snowballs".
Little f-ers.
Ya gotta admire the cheekiness of it!

There's something falling here in Ballygunner but it looks more like rain than snow. Only very light.

hellfireie

its snowing in avondale/ cherrymount area !!!!

Local weather apps have changed from snow to rain showers. We shall see.

I'd like to know people's opinions on the schools being closed.

Like those of us that are still working have made it to work except those who are in remote areas but by and large where I am most if not all are in.

They say it's on health and safety grounds that if someone slips they could be liable. But in fairness it hasnt snowed since Saturday.

So take the main schools here where you must have at least 50 teachers in each school who are now sitting at home for the last two days doing nothing basically. What was to stop them getting into the schools yesterday and arming themselves with a few shovels and wheelbarrows and clearing the place and making it safe?

Maybe I'm being harsh but closing them for two days seems over the top.

Yeah the temperature's pushed up a bit wtoo high seemingly but there's meant to be a large bank of cold air push ing in from the east around lunch time so we'll see what that brings with it.
