yes,i'm gonna put more down in the morning too but its def far better than using table salt on it, gives a better grip!i've also used ashes from the fire and found it very good too!
where are you based? i'm wondering what the N15 is like tonight have to travel on it at 7 in the morning! i heard there was alot of black ice on it today and cars went off the road at Tullaghan!
I have to travel on it tuesday morning, not even sure I will if it's bad. If you get a chance could you post an update on how it is tomorrow?
Londis in dromore are doing big bags of salt for €5.80, heard NCF were selling bags for €8.50 as well.
The N59 between dromore and ballisodare was LETHAL between 6 and 7 this evening, there seemed to be no grit at all on it, funeral speed the whole way in, a usual 30 minute drive to town took over an hour. Frozen slush all over the road especially around beltra, the hills were very hairy. Coming back in at about half 11 it wasn't as bad, it must have been gritted but Im not sure as usually you hear the grit bouncing off the car. Between ballisodare and sligo was gritted, met the gritter at about half 7.
The cathedral car park is an ice rink, they should sell skates at the entrance and charge an entry fee for it!
Our estate is like everyone else's, I had great pleasure in watching all the cars slide all over the place earlier on. I don't think our estate is as bad as last year because we don't have the compacted snow this year just rain/hail, however the roads seem much worse.0 -

Travelled on it this morning main rd was fine well gritted just take your time on it. coming home this evening traffic was at a standstill in rathcormac due to lots of slush on the hills, thankfully it wasnt as bad when i was coming through as it had been earlier after the snowfall. grange was a little slushy too coming in from the sligo side. other than that the main rd was fine, just keep a good distance between the cars in front and take your time. connaughton rd and the hill on holborn st were outrageous today, i was watching cars/vans sliding back down the hills and traffice at a standstill, people just abandoning the cars on the hill and nobody was going anywhere, its the worst i have ever seen it!take your time on the roads people and you will get there safely.0 -
