Hope not?

Im up high in Firhouse - Old Court - so if I can hear sirens it means its up the top end of the Firhouse Road - near Tallaght. Have not heard anything further - hopefully nothing too serious. I did pass that way an hour ago and the road was a mess of untreated snow with a lot of sliding.

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.

Jesus heard those sirens myself (hunterswood, ballycullen) assumed it was M50. Any idea what part of the road is closed? Madness. There is about a foot up here now and still coming down heavy

Look outside carefully. I thought same but it's actually belting down a fine powder snow. Looks like fog.

In Kildare, thinking of going back to Rathgar in an hour.

Am I mad or is it passable?

Folks, anyone know the condition of the road between Leixlip and Lucan, particularly the M4? Concerned for herself's safety heading home from Leixlip.

That table is a disgrace, looks like a Cork table or something. You should be ashamed of yourself!

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:

Yep I posted earlier - Significant other did it Sunday night when ferry would take no more foot passengers - so he got 2 new vehicle passengers & then organised a taxi for them at the port... God love them but its the season for giving....

Getting a bit worried that this arc will push north and take us out of the firing line here (D15). Although I guess one shouldn't be greedy...but it would be a shame, cos it will probably deliver a lot of snow this evening.

Coming down very heavy now and wind has change.

Proper flakes, almost whiteout, and yes i know it is dusk!

Same here in Arklow,it's incredibly crazy,flakes the size of dinnerplates in a grey leaden sky just coming straight down.
We reckon we've close to a foot now.
