Does anyone know of any shops open in the Ardkeen area (other than Londis?)

World Wide Wines was open but might be closed now.

I got a half pounder in chipster and a bottle of Jameson in Madigans

What more could you want? Going to get drunk and go play in the snow later

You, my friend, are living the dream.

Thanks, went for a stroll on the hunt for some munchies, but they were cleared out. The Dunmore Rd looked like something out of an apocalypse very surreal with people trecking the snowy roads.

It's like The Walking Dead, little groups of slow moving people huddled together outside empty shops.

Wasn't on them, but other major roads around the town have been cleared, but not fully, so I'd imagine they have been cleared

Dionysis · 03-03-2018 8:08am

What’s the snow situation like in your area surrounding wate4ord city. Have to pass from Tramore through Waterford through new Ross to graignamanagh in kk late4 this morning. Will I get there, and is it worth getting there if everyone is in 4ft of snow?

if you come in the tramore road and stick to the ring roads as far as the hospital roads are cleared in as far as town anyway.

id imagine getting to graig would be problematic!!

Unicrons Dad · 03-03-2018 9:01am

Are tesco and the other shops open today

JohnC. · 03-03-2018 9:09am

The main road between Waterford and New Ross has been cleared but there's still a lot of snow build up in the hard shoulder so just take your time. Obviously keep your eyes open for abandoned vehicles on the road, they may not be fully pulled in off the road.

Harry Palmr · 03-03-2018 10:35am

was dodgy enough last night, was ploughed though, and traffic was passing through it relatively ok, even though there was a car abandoned on it, there was only one lane to. probably different story now

Royal Legend · 03-03-2018 2:01pm

I would imagine trucks will start getting through the motorways so the shops could be stocked back up tomorrow, if the drivers are allowed work

Fair play to all the services that have worked hard to get the city and county up and running after the snow. Lot of volunteers as well as local agencies whose work should not go un-noticed

erica74 · 03-03-2018 4:32pm

Roads are driveable and walkable but there's snow built up everywhere so you have to take your time as pedestrians are walking on the road. Ardkeen stores car park is full of snow, they're doing their best to clear it but it's slow. Lidl car park alongside Ardkeen Stores is a bit cleared and open and they're still working on it. Tesco is open until 6pm and car park is relatively clear but still a lot of work to do, they're working away.

Lots of cars still abandoned everywhere, lots of idiots stopping on the road (which is barely even one car width wide in some places) to let passengers out and pick people up, lots of pedestrians out walking. So everyone just be careful and courteous.

How's the thaw going

Some parts of those roadbumps (ones which are material/plastic and not tarmac) seemed to have ripped up when they were ploughing the snow. A few patches taken up around the Ursuline School, and left dumped near the traffic lights by the inner ring road. Think there was one by Norris's corner as well.
Hopefully can get them fixed soon, as there are some huge screws popping out of where they used to be.
Unfortunately, our roads will have taken another pummelling after the snow and ice.

I think they have all been fixed now there was one in cannon street and paddy browns road but of both them are fixed

Feels kinda strange driving around in the sunshine and big mounds of snow and ice piled up everywhere,last week feels like a dream or something
