Big Freeze Discussion / Heavy snow & Blizzards continue - 02/12/2010

chucknorris · 2010-12-02 07:38:29

I'll kick this one off this morning :) Blanchardstown packed with snow. The IOM shadow is still lurking. PS: Tomorrow could be interesting too if what Met Eireann say may happen - westerly systems hitting cold air.

I know a guy who works in sandyford in the depo
with the salt and grit. Starts at 5am each day and
finishes at 8.30pm. 10.30pm last night! Prob is
the gritters are getting stuck in traffic, people
never let them pass. Harsh time for those guys.

But hay, fun for the rest of us!:D
