    Just shows the importance of a mobile phone. My father was a total Luddite but now has one. Might be a wake up call. Hope he gets home safely.

    D14. No thaw that I can make out. I get icicles on my gutters and they're a good thermometer for this stuff, slightest thaw and they drip and the ones on my conservatory back door which drip the first are still solid. Now wind and tiny(1mm) graupel lightly falling, almost like a mist, but still falling.

    icicles are caused by freeze/thaw action so yeah good point very good.

    Methinks I will take your advice and book the ticket. I don't want to = an unhappy Mammy. Thanks

    Yeh ,if I were you I'd book the ticket. My kids flight was cancelled to birmingham on saturday and we were going to rebook for monday or today but decided to get the ferry yesterday instead . I'm so glad we did or they'd still be stuck now . The ferry and train are longer , but at least you'll get there , just do it , I have lots of times, it's not so bad !

    Good sign from bray. Moderately heavy flakey snow. Lookin like about 15 minutes worth going on Raintoday.

    Snowing in greystones too, no sign of thaw but temp is only near 0 I think.
    As long as I can drive to Dublin port for my ferry on Xmas ve morning I will try and enjoy it til then.

    Seems to be a slight thawing here now. Some drippage from tree branches.

    Some flakes in the air too, but not heavy.

    Friend is stuck on a back road in Lucan. Isn't sure what to do...is thinking he'll have to leave his car. We told him to take the M50 but he didn't take our advice... :|

    Little or no snow in Naas all evening until around 4pm then Papa Snow took a huge big steaming dump over Kildare.

    Unbelievable. Chaotic around Sallins, Trucks getting stuck on Sallins hill, tractors trying to pull them up it. No one moveD anywhere for at least 45 minutes.

    Great craic altogether. Here's hoping Papa has stomach cramps takes another dump
    during the night.

    Was out for a walk in Donabate and lots of water dripping off the trees but felt colder as I was getting back so hopefully just a temporary blip and temps will drop a bit before next shower with the clearer skies overhead. Thats if the next streamer doesn't dip below Donabate which it looks like it might

    Was that just a warm sector causing a slight thaw then?
