That's ****ing stupid with the traffic being the way it is. i bet they haven't offered to put them up anywhere for the night?

Ninja edit: And here it goes again. BANG.

These are people who's flights have been cancelled. Not delayed.

Since my friend can not get another flight until the 28th, there is no point in him staying at the hotel.

BEASTERLY

I get giddy when there is a load of snow outside, lol.

Wonder how people soiled themselves before they saw the rest of the comment.

Has gotten really dark here the past hour.

Yes I thought that aswell, I just thought that it was because of it being the shortest day. I hope it's a sign of things to come.

I know you Dubs are a generous crowd, but, just this once, would ye mind keeping the snow up there? I've only a little dusting of snow here in Carlow at the moment, and don't fancy getting any more as I was stuck in the house for almost 2 weeks the last time. Please let it stay in Dublin, or better still, in England.

The Firhouse Road has been closed - just heard from a friend who heard it on the radio - am in Firhouse and can hear a lot of sirens - must have been an accident.

Well there I was sitting on the couch enjoying my half day and I dozed off at about 3.
I wake up a few minutes ago and I appear to have missed my snowmageddon shower! A good couple of inches have fallen in Lucan since 3! :eek:

Thats some depth! What are the chances of flooding with the quick thaw?

Unlikely like 10inches could give off only 1cm of water..

Anyone know if Tallaght has been getting hit much? Haven't seen

Been snowing ALL DAY in Tallaght......
Up the road from Firhouse where I am BTW

It was quiet here, which I think correlated to a little gap in the radar. Another pulse seems to be on the way down from Malahide/Swords which seems pretty hefty...seems to be picking up again as I type.

I know the train station in london (dont know which 1 it is) is saying not 2 get the train to the ferry unless u have a ferry ticket also, but dont mind them, there just sayin that so as to not have the trains overloaded!!!!! just get a ticket to holyhead say, and then try the ticket desk r ask a trucker for a helpin hand;)

Know loads who have done this, while others have waited at the airport in the hope of a flight........the people in the airport are still waiting while the others are home with their families:rolleyes:

There's always an alternative:pac:
