My house is on a corner leading into my estate. Lost count the number of tools who’ve nearly spun, hit another car or come through my front garden because they’re going to fast around the corner. What is it with people and these conditions in cars? They think they’re some sort of magic vehicles.

The amount of 171 & 181 suv's that overtook me today in Cork was ridiculous, they think they're invincible in snow and ice :rolleyes:

Forgive my ignorance, but what are “streamers”?

Showers that whip up over lakes/seas. Google lake effect snow.

I get that but if Dun Laoighire or Howth had the sort of conditions we had today dont you think it would have been the main news headline on RTE? I said rant over cos I think this 'Dublin Media' stuff is generally overstated but not always...

There was loads of snow in Dublin today.
And when you posted that first I was watching the midlands correspondent in Tullamore.
