    Yeah, I'd say that's cat alright, bad in icy weather never mind this stuff.

    Some salt was sent to Connemara yesterday to start to clear the roads out there. Apparently they are dire west of a line from Oughterard to Rossaveal. Ring local shops who would know what is passable and not.

    No further snow is expected before the slow thaw starts on christmas day ( late in the day it looks like)

    my brother and his kids came up to city today from glassilllaun via recess ,he done good time coming up, my niece txted me at 8.30 to say they just left city , she txted again at 10.30 to say they were home and she said the roads are nice and white. you will be able to go on the said road like alll roads with caution. on the salting thing, the recess as you go right towards klyemore is not salted.

    I did this yesterday. Between turnoff for Roundstone and Clifden was poor but rest was ok. I averaged about 70k the whole way out. Driving an Avensus. Scenery was beautiful too.

    Yeah, N59 was fine for me too, no problems. A bit slushy through Recess but only in the middle of the lanes and sides of the road. After Oughterard (I think) there was nothing on the road at all.
