I was halfway to Chapelizod when I realised that I could have done that, but I am a fair distance away from Adamstown too, more the Liffey Valley end of Lucan. Its a head melter, if this keeps up I will have calves the size of tree trunks, not a good look in the Christmas party frocks

Next time get train to parkwest or clondakin, it will save you a bit.

tell him we said he's a clown.

some people just don't listen. i've heard of people's bosses flat out denying that anything much is even happening (even tho they're sitting in the centre of it all) and making people work a full day in dublin city even with all the crap that's going on and then expecting everyone to drive/bus/train/walk hours in the snow to get home.

Thanks a million for the advice, not usually a public transport user and if I do its more the bus. Sorry to be so ignorant, does the Clondalkin train go from Heuston?

Swords is meant to be very bad on the roads now. Chaos around The Pavillions, and cars abandoned on the hills around The Lord Mayors.

Fair play to the bosses I say, sure it's only a bit of snow!

Yeah it goes from heuston, just ask at the information desk.

I got caught last year as usually take 25x or 25b now, so train is a great back up plan

I wouldn't bother.

UPDATE: since I last measured we've had 2 more solid inches in Rathfarnham... that's like an inch an hour... no sign of stopping... or slowing...

almost 11 inches on the roof of my car since midnight Tues... and we'd already had almost a foot at that point... so nearing 2 feet since it all started... maybe more!!!

EPIC!

Bucketing down.

No one will be going anywhere tomorrow after the -12c freeze and incoming band in towards midday.

The luas's are queing up at the Mayor Sq. Stop.. they cant seem to get beyond it

Speedsie

Snowing constantly since 3.30pm (well, that's wehn I got back from work), 6 inches of snow removed from steps, now an inch back on them.

A bus has broken down on the centre lane in-bound, and another bus slid into it. Big bang, and the operational bus took around 10 minutes to get disentagled.

Tail backs still in force
