Couple of pics from outside work (taken on my mobile, resized etc in PS)

Second pic is beautiful, well done. I'd say the bar opposite might appreciate a copy of it actually!

Folks, any updates on public transport in the city centre please?

My mum was due to fly out of Dublin airport today but Frankfurt is a mess so she's heading home now. Are the buses running ok or should she get a DART back to the Dun Laoghaire area?

the 16a appears to be operating as normal, so that would get her to town at least, and then get a dart or bus from there to DL.

Needs all or nothing in town now, it's coming heavy again, not wanting to go into work to be told to go home a few hours later!!!

Slightly surprised given the cloud cover, the outside temperature is still -5.6C. My pond, which is pump circulated, has a partial ice cover, with snow on top of that, most unusual.

Falling heavily in Ballycoolin IDA, good few CM on the ground now.


Having a detrimental effect, burst water pipe apparently.

TBH i think its going to get pretty serious in town over the next half hour/hour.

Is your mains water gone? Mine is

Pelting it down in arklow again after a short lull.
The breeze is blowing the snow off the tree's and hedges aswell so you get pounded from all directions,it's so heavy you have to keep the head down out in it.

Radar virtuel is crap, use http://casper.frontier.nl/eidw/ instead, its brilliant, only thing is theres a 15 min delay unless you want to pay.

Thats class, thanks

Thanks, she managed to get an Aircoach but it goes to Leopardstown.
Might tell her to get the DART in the city centre instead of a bus, juuuuuust in case.

snow stopped in Clontarf. Lovely clear blue skys overhead right now. A really beautiful view, even in this office park

Big clouds appear to be moving in from the sea direction though, temporary respite i think.

I'm listening to the dublin bus base controllers, buses still running to dun laoire, FOR NOW, snowing heavy in dun laoire again, I'd get the dart to be safe.

Can any one answer my questions please.
1. Why is it that snow never seems to reach Kilkenny while near by Carlow and Wicklow region get hammered? Is it the geography of the region?
2. With all this cold weather how will it affect our smaller animals here in Ireland (i.e the non native rabbit)

Taken a few minutes ago in Dublin 15





I think it's got heavier since then

hey who tagged me as a robin killer not nice

irport Situation has me confused. according to both Stansted and Da websites, the flight is still as scheduled, but I dont know where he'll end up
Think they'd put the diversion location in its place.

Traffic on main road outside my estate is crawling by, really crawling Ive never seen it so bad .

While north Co Dublin are having a whiteout at the moment (partner driving out of there at the moment), we in Shercock/Kingscourt are instead of having any snow are freezing with the cold temps!

-12 at 9.30 am this morning, has risen to a warmer -3 now.

Sun and snow here. Alot on the ground trees and grass - maybe 4 or 5 inches.
