I’m sure that you’ll be getting the motorway there and back, so I wouldn’t worry. Just don’t forget to pay the toll!

Yep it will be the M50, thank you for the ressurance. Toll paid thanks for the reminder

I know ye hate these types of posts, but please be patient with me

I've to drive from Waterford to Dublin airport for 7.00pm this evening, and then back to Waterford. Are the roads likely to be bad? I'm nervous enough driving to to Dublin when it's dark (yes that sounds ridiculous i know!) but I'll also be driving someone else car. So, would you think there will be icy/tricky conditions?

Thank you

Recent rain shower in Enfield, Meath, with some wet snow mixed in.

Pure 100% rain in Cork. Definitely doesn’t feel cold enough for snow down here. I’d say we’re a long way off

cnocbui

A while back, there was a flurry of really large clumps. By the time I grabbed the camera they were about a quarter the size. Trying to photograph flakes in mid air is wee challenge, but I managed a couple in flagrante delicto.
