Tyre tracks just about gone, at long last!!

Just thought I'd mention that I've been working for the last few hours around the D12/Naas Rd, Citiwest, Kylemore Rd area, roads are covered in snow after blizzard conditions over the last hour especially around the Ballyfermot/Walkinstown area, not a sign of a single road having been treated/gritted, snow also very bad on M50, all M50 junctions south of Westlink bridge, N4 and N7 and it doesn't appear that these roads have been treated at all yesterday either.

Its a deathtrap outside now, the layer of snow on top of the frozen ice is lethal. I expect alot more of this tomorrow

Still going Roofs all covered, houses and cars, and the road in the estate and my balcony

Rougies

This is a long shot, but can anyone confirm the church bells ringing in Knocklyon after the last lightning/thunder strike? I'm getting worried about my sanity now.

counterpointaud

Sometimes I am concerned about my sanity

*EDIT* actually the design was mostly my partners, I just happily shoveled snow for the most part.

Yup.

Temp dropping at the airport even though its cloudy/precip, can only be a good thing!!
