Easily 5cm in Rathfarnham... more I'd guess...

A good inch or two has fallen in D6 over the last hour.

No sign of it stopping yet.

I'm sorry but i clearly saidi'm not bashing met eir but they havent been great this cold spell- THey changed there forecast for the next few days today- it was totally different yesterday. yesterday they said heavy snow in the east on friday now today it is rain? how can you justify that. THet arent a good service infact most of the information they give out is wrong. They might as well stcik there heads out the wondow in the morning and say its Raining/ snowing / sunny because there forecast for teh next few days is rubbish.

No you're not bashing ME only saying they are no good. :rolleyes:
For tomorrow there is some uncertainty as to the amount of snow v's rain because of the conditions. By its very nature weather forecasting is not an exact science and conditions can change unexpectedly very fast.
ME are actually a v good service (except for those who want a forecast for over their own house a week in advance).
Most of the information they give out is far from wrong and I rely on an accurate forecast for my livelihood and hobbies.

My weekend in London is slipping further and further away

Lets stay optimistic here. I'm still very hopeful of getting to London for the weekend, dont mind if I cant get back.
Roads arent great in nutgrove/churchtown but still managing to get into work everyday driving to sandyford/leopardstown area.
