Spare a thought for quite alot of people who will be walking home from the city tonight! Hotels in the CC will be packed to the rafters.

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

Yep they are the buses that I would usually get, but is Adamstown not miles beyond Superquinn? Thanks so much for your advice, very much appreciated. Damn snow. I detest it.

Mhh the Met Eireann outlook after tomorrow looks positively boring!
Gradual thaw sounds boring as hell..better to have it all suddenly melt!

General : Mostly dry weather over the weekend and for much of next week. Daytime temperatures recovering a little, so some partial thaws, but still very cold at night with further hard frosts. Friday night : Cold overnight, but mainly dry and clear. Lowest temperatures zero to -4 C., with frost and ice in many areas. Some fog patches also. Saturday and Sunday : Mainly dry both days, but with some bright or sunny spells and just a few scattered showers of rain or hail, with possibly the odd snow flurry on high ground in the west and north. Highs of plus 1 to plus 5 or 6 C., highest in southwest and western coastal areas and a slight partial thaw is likely for a time each day. But the nights will still be very cold with temperatures down to between -2 and - 8 C., with further ice, frost and some freezing fog. Trend for next week : Mostly dry, cold, bright weather expected. Some sunshine most days with just well scattered rain or hail showers. Highs in low positive single figures in the first half of the week, rising a little later in the week, but still below normal. So some thawing next week, but gradual enough. But there will be cold nights throughout, with further frosts and icy patches, but these frosts not as severe as recent nights.

Doubt it all you want!

We easily measured 17 inches+ on our garden table, and that had been cleared of 5-6 inches...

I may not be a professional maths person, but that's damn near 2 feet...

Thank God for that. We're due +8 down here in the Southwest tomorrow afternoon, should finally get rid of all crap lying on the footpaths and roads.
