    Lots of shops in town closed early today, a few have signs saying they're not opening tomorrow and will decide about Friday later on.

    It's pretty tame (so far) in Galway City in comparison to a lot of the country.

    Dunnes closed at six instead of seven. Some of the late night shops won't do one tomorrow evening. Any that closed today are taking the p1ss.

    Good layer of snow laid down on the rounds now. Will see if it freezes.

    I'd reckon get set for a crappy commute tomorrow.

    Yes, as far as I know the schools and uni will be shut on issue of a red warning.

    Might be a night for staying in and watching The Thing and eyeing your house mates suspiciously - well, more suspiciously than usual.

    Yep. I got that from the Bus Eireann Twitter. The way it's written it looks like it includes city services but don't shoot the messenger.

    So far just in Leinster and Munster.

    But the rest of the country just got red-stickered a couple of hours ago, after BE management were asleep. I'd expect the rest of the buses will cancel after they wake up in the morning.

    They've updated. Definitely no city services. They will review tomorrow re Friday.

    Edit: think I've got the screenshot to work:
    Nope. I'll stick it up separately.

    ParcelMotel did deliver. Got an email that my parcel was in the Dublin depot yesterday and now had a text to say it's in the locker in Galway. Didn't expect that!
    Fortunately the locker isn't too far away. Will walk there.

    Hardly any. Looks more or less the same like last evening. Just a light snow cover.

    Not sure where you are but there's a good few cm on the east side.

    I asked because there is very little additional overnight snow West of Galway even though the radar shows that it snowed.

    The Red was issued so late, 11pm, that parents won't have had any opportunity to make arrangements. A lot of people won't know that the buses aren't running.

    I wonder if the lack of gritting is being made worse by the need to prioritise the motorways. Did the Council get extra vehicles ?
