    Both lanes of the bypass are fine today, unlike the last snow, when it was down to one lane.

    It's grand around town (Athlone) and on the bypass. Very wet and slushy unlike the last round that was drier and froze solid really quickly. Hopefully this just stays slushy until we get a bit of rain.

    Just for anyone who needs the info was due to make the trip up again today, rang a few garda stations to check. Ballykeeran Hill is supposed to be very bad a few cars abandoned there.

    Mullingar guards advised that n4 from mullingar to edgeworthstown is very bad.

    I am supposed to be bringing my daughter to Belvedere house in Mullingar tomorrow to see santa. she is so excited as she is telling everyone that she is gonna see Santa in Narnia. The only problem is i live in Athlone/Roscommon and not to sure of the condition of the road.

    I was planning on going on the motorway from athlone to Kilbeggan and then taking the N52 heading for Mullingar, I was hoping someone would be able to tell me what this stretch of road is like. really appreciate any info on this.

    I dont know myself how that road is now, but i always go that way to mullingar from here except as the prevvious poster said get off at tyrrellspass.

    The motorway will be fine, just stay off the fast lane as there is more ice on it - From the exit you will go straight to belvedere - you wont need to go into the town at all. This is a national route so it should be fine as it is gritted
