Any chance Dublin Bus will be back running today? Called several taxi firms, none of them are operating.

Not a chance. Traffic wise, I've been in my car for the last 2 hours trying to get out of Parkweest and managed to drive 2km so far.

Just took me 2 & a half hours to get from Town to D11. Roads are in an awful state. Esp. Dorset St.

Advise for anyone thinking of going out.

DON'T. Stay in...

Wind speed will reduce slightly over Irish sea in coming few hours aiding convection, But I think the wind is against us again in North Dub for this next band.

Good for Waterford though ???? Similar to last night.

How's it looking for the Athlone area tonight lads? I have me fingers crossed all day for a couple of inches!

Anyone know what the north east are to expect overnight?


Want to head out in the morning about 7am or so, to get some nice snowy photos. Great amount of snow in Drogheda today, but I left it too late to take photos. It's dark now.


Anyone in the know care to share?
