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...

Holding around -0.4C here.

Where's your friend, on the Lucan to Clonee road?

Seems to be clouding in now, temp slightly risen!!!

Looking outside and also on the webcam @ www.waterfordcityweather.com its definitely after clouding over with a slight temp rise. Just need a bit of luck to get that shower action.

Just in from lots of snow beers & listening to the scanner, heard dublin bus base controller saying he is about to pull the lot.....all buses finishing at 10 maybe?!?

Snow stopped again. WT hell??

I just had a brilliant brainwave. I was thinking about walking to tesco tommorow, and lamenting the walk home lugging shopping because I had no trolley.
Eureka. I will bring my suitcase on wheels. Am I a genius or wha'??
