I hope so, but my head says no. Wind looks to be Southwest which will rule out coastal snow for us. I would think midland areas and Dublin again.
Still it's worth watching out for
No matter what happens roads could could be lethal Saturday morning after wet roads freeze.
All in all a frustrating week for us rebels, but keep watching the radar tonight! I believe tonight before midnight is our best chance!

i may go mad if this doesnt happen

Has the wind changed to a more eastern direction?

According to Dublin City FM, the last buses leaving the city centre will be at 8.00pm.

If you need to get a bus and have no other mode of transport home, get moving now.

Edit: Confirmed @ 1920 hrs by Dublin Bus

Joke to brighten your day!

The Donkey

Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day…
The next day he drove up and said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The Donkey has died.’
Paddy replied, ‘Well then just give me my money back.’
The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I’ve already spent it.’
Paddy said, ‘OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’
The farmer asked, ‘What are you going to do with him?’
Paddy said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’
The farmer said, ‘You can’t raffle a dead donkey!’
Paddy said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ‘What happened with that dead donkey?’
Paddy said, ‘I raffled him off.
I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898′
The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’
Paddy said, ‘Just the guy who won.
So I gave him his two pounds back.’
Paddy now works for Anglo Irish Bank.
