This_Years_Love

It took me just under 2 hours to walk home in the snow. Fell about 50 thousand times and I think I've done something to my left knee now.

Shoota

Got lucky, it only took me an hour and a half to Clonsilla :eek:

The poor mammy's been trying to get home since 4.....

SoupyNorman

brummytom

Hour and a half to get to where I wanted (it's only 15 miles away); but got a lift back so only 25mins

Stench Blossoms

Took me an hour and a half. Normal takes me 30mins. Stupidily thought if I took a short cut drove through a housing estate it would get me home quicker.

ollaetta

Dublin City centre to Rathfarnham, just under 3 hours. Big problems for a lot of cars getting over the bridge on the canal at Donore Avenue (Sallys Bridge). One van driver just gave up and ditched the van.

Latchy

Over an hr here ,were snowed in big time although some gritting was done on the main roads transport still slow moving

happymondays

21 minutes, usually takes 15!!

as soon as the snow hit seems like everyone in dublin had the bright idea they would beat the traffic and leave early around 2 - 3pm and ended causing huge traffic queues, wheni left at 5:30 there was noone left and sailed home!

El Siglo

A journey that normally takes me an hour and a half, less some times, took four hours.:eek:

pahadia

2 hours walk from Lesson Street to Charlestown (Finglas)...sore feet and aching back now...

df1985

If i was stuck in town id go to the pub for a few hot whiskeys and get a later train to avoid all the mayhem!

MagicMarker

2 hours

Normally takes 30 minutes from Sandyford to Tallaght.

Bandit12

Usually takes 40 minutes but took nearly 4 hours today :mad: Such is life.

Cheerilee

3.5 hours.. normally 45 mins..
patrick st and bridge st being closed added hours onto the journey..
if I had heard that on the radio earlier would never have taken that route.. they only mentioned it on the hourly news so loads of people didnt hear until it was too late..

Whippersnapper

2 hours.

45 minutes on the DART and an 1hour and 15 minutes walking from there.

Kashkai

My brother left Donaghmede, D13 at 4pm to head out the M50 and the M4. He rang me at 6 to say he'd only gotten as far as Blanchardstown and again at 8 to say he was at the toll cameras. He still hasn't made it to the M4 yet. I'm in my ma's with the kids waiting to go the same route but it looks like I'll be staying the night now.

white apples

Can't believe all this mayhem cos of a bit of snow. Typical Ireland.

stovelid

Left at 2; home at 6:30

RGS

left Jervis Street at 5pm got the dart to Killester and home at 6.15pm.

About 15 mins later than normal but that was due to queueing for a ticket. i normally cycle to work but this week taking the bus except this evening when the buses took the evening off.

Lorrs33

My mam and I picked my dad up from Ballinteer tonight. Hour going over, 3 hours coming back. It doesn't beat my record made during the last snowfall when I spent 4 hours on a 75 from Dun Laoghaire to Tallaght

I_am_Jebus

Thank Jebus (me) that I took an extra week off work this week. yeeha!

Michellenman

My dad left Dame street at half two and got home to Blanch at twenty passed six.

kizzyr

It took me 4 hours to get home, usually takes only 45 minutes. Think taking a snow day tomorrow. Work isn't worth the risk.

Yes, it's "typical Ireland" - nothing to do with the roads being treacherous.

AssaultedPeanut

Left city centre at 4.40 home at 6.30. Usually takes about 25minutes on the bus.
Had to get a Dart but when I got to Connolly it was mental with tonnes of people waiting for tickets, so after awhile there I decided to just walk to Clontarf Road and got a Dart from there.

I know.

I've only just realized I didn't have to take four hours to drive home in dangerous conditions caused by weather that is basically rare in our country.

It was actually my own hysterical overreaction that was the issue.

John Mason

3 white knuckle, terrifying, hours to go 6 miles

my experience would be the scariest funfair ride ever:)

Dartz

I walked to the train station. > 45mins
I took a train > 30 mins
I walked from the station >20 mins

Train was empty compared to what it normally is at that time of day.

LimeFruitGum

I went to the pub after work for some tea and a toastie, so to let the worst of the traffic go by. It only took me about 40 mins to get home (8 mile drive) across south Dublin, which was grand. Normally it would take 30 mins. Was in 1st gear most of the time.
I didn't come across any accidents or any idiot drivers, thank goodness. But I am so working at home tomorrow, feck this.

Antigone05

blanchardstown to rathfarnham

left at 3.30 from work. got home at 10.30

im just finished my dinner, and not going into work tomorrow.

tedstriker

About 14 minutes walk along the Luas track. Had to stop at Marks & Spencer for some bread and the queue was about 10 people long that is why it took so long. It was annoying as hell I have to say. It was a real pain in the neck having to wait in that queue, people don't understand how busy shops are in the city centre after work. The bread was nice though. Oh and I also stopped to take a photo of the snow. Very pretty.
