    If our back garden is any kind of microcosm of the roads out there, they must be in a very rough state. Initial layer of hail that fell here yesterday afternoon half melted and then refroze into a layer of ice, then there was a good 5cm of snow on top of that that compacted and partly melted under the sun today and has now also refrozen into a very hard snow/ice mix. Rinse and repeat tonight, and it's a really hazardous base which a lot more snow is going to be dumped on. Be careful out there people!

    Heading towards there now from the city. Coach full with college students cutting their week short. Trafic moving quite slowly. The weather was worse, sorry - better, than I was expecting today. Hope there is at least a dusting in Mayo when I arrive home.

    There's a few days a year I really regret buying a rear wheel drive BMW. Would be able to explore at least a bit (no, not in the Sally Gap!)

    Maybe a Defender once this lease ends

    I'm not sure hiking boots are so great in this weather. Their profile is more suitable to walking on the rocks in dry or wet conditions so they are rather hard. You need sturdy but softer rubber soles for snow. I have snow boots myself and they are different from hiking boots and much safer to walk on the snow.

    Went for a walk around the Old Bawn area in Tallaght, roads and footpaths are very icy. Not much fresh snow in the last 3 or 4 hours.
