Just cleared the drive way again.

A little over two inches now lying in West Limerick.

In Co. Kerry around Castleisland and Farranfore there is about an inch of snow.

In Farranfore today the hill when heading for Killarney was difficult with
several motorists failing in their attemps and lorries needing to be towed to continue their journey.

I'm off for a few hours kip now as have a start in a few hours

Enjoyed reading all the posts. will be off the radar until late tomorrow night so until then stay safe and enjoy every snowflake

Is that the climb after the overpass that has a crawl lane for trucks?

Dublin looks like a non event tonight, 6am looks like it might have a bit & when the wind shifts (tomorrow lunch/afternoon) the east coast hopefully will get some streamers

Good night all, hope everywhere enjoys their snow & we have lots of it over the next few days

And remember to look in on older or infirm neighbors during this cold spell, its fun for us & not fun for them

Epic journey home from work this evening, from Ballincollig to North Cork, normally takes 40mins, but tonight it took 1.5 hours, the Southlink was mayhem, practically a car-park, travelling at 10-20km/h, the slush/snow on the road was really bad.
