oaky, i am reading everything with a bad feeling.

my bro's flight from london was cancelled yesterday and the earlist flight he can get is tuesday - everyone is talking about snow in dublin for tuesday.

he should have listened to me when i told him to get the ferry but to make it worse, i have to get him out to the folks in bray who appear to be snowed in going my mother's hysterical posts on facebook.

she will lose her reason if wonderful son cant make it home :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Significant other is on way from Holyhead - Heathrow must have sent everyone via Victoria station to the ferry as he said was mentalwith foot passengers. So book a ferry & a rail ticket & get him that way... Then he only needs to jump on dart from dunlaoghaire to Bray & can walk home to mama...... Nah we have about 3cm - nothing like we had last week

He also said cars were having probs slipping & sliding at holyhead... & the volume of foot passengers on the last ferry there was ridiculous .... But as he said himself he would have gladly picked up anyone stuck & taken them as a vehicle passenger ..... anyone planning a car trip back should keep that as an open option to help another person who may be stuck

Dear Santa/Snow Gods,

Please bring loads and loads of snow to Dublin tonight.

I will open my curtains at 6 no 3am and hope to see a blanket of the fluffy white stuff!!!

Please :):):):):)

Dont worry, that sort of temp should be recorded in your area in the next 25 minutes.

I know what you mean, its been spinning on the coast for 24 hours now and doesnt look like it will progress inland, frustrating.

There are so many kids on our road willing snow to arrive in buckets so they get off school, probably for Christmas if it stays for the week.

JONJO THE MISER

when it gets in hopefully it will bucket it down.

haha, yeah might as well cover all bases, make sure you don;t spill any coffee on youself though. I "forgot" to mention the coat, but your BF is probably right, have it in the rucksack just in case.

well, the idiot brother isnt known for using his head :rolleyes:

I am optimistic that us west dubliners will finally get a decent bit of snow later tonight.

Love your optimism, not so sure myself, roads might be better with fresh snow and the compacted snow is a nightmare on quieter roads. Had to push a rear wheel drive up a slight hill today and could barely stand up myself
