bloody hell. it wasn't anything like that bad here.
I just had to be careful here walking the dog - managed not to fall at all, bar once.
Christmas morning, coming in from the next door neighbours house, fell on a patch of ice with water over it, landed on my thumb. didn't break it, but it was bloody sore. had to put a brave face on it for the family dinner

made opening the champagne a bit tricky.

Yeah it was awful bad...you wouldn't be able to walk on this. I heard more extreme cold conditions on their way though

I have to say I haven't fallen yet

- but then again i never walked anywhere. I put my car in danger instead

deRanged · 30-12-2009 12:59AM

what gets me is I walked the 4km odd from trainstation to office and back each day no problem, then I slip outside the house!

deRanged · 30-12-2009 11:58PM

ok - forget ice. floods are the new ice.

this is the road leading to my estate

and this is the main road (or the R623 as the non-locals call it) at Glounthaune train station:

Jesus christ what kind of weather is this! -

One guys field went from a "field" to a lake, to an ice rink. Must be a sea now... crazy stuff.

would you like a cherry on top of that flooding

kingtut · 31-12-2009 05:16PM

I am going bowling tonight! YAY! Then having Indian yum!

Webmonkey · 31-12-2009 05:17PM

I'm going driving tonight to cork to go out. Roads will probably be in shít!

deRanged · 31-12-2009 08:32PM

I was totally underwhelmed. I was expecting strobe lighting type effects. :mad:

thanks. that's taken with a Canon Eos 50D with a 70-200 lens.

kingtut · 02-01-2010 03:55PM

Was planning on driving back to Cork today but I can't as I am snowed in

Will try again tomorrow! Anyone else having trouble?

miss_shadow · 02-01-2010 10:45PM

Oh

Webmonkey · 02-01-2010 10:47PM

Eh

DamienH · 02-01-2010 10:47PM

It's going to ice up pretty bad here in Cork tonight I'd say, it was colder than cold when I was walking home around seven.

deRanged · 02-01-2010 11:00PM

just back from the airport - it was minus 2 all the way. not too icy though.

cadaliac · 02-01-2010 11:02PM

I have to drive from Ballybofey Co.Donegal to Ballincollig, via Dublin tomorrow. Dreading it.
Even the main raods are suposed to be bad tomorrow.
FFS.

Webmonkey · 03-01-2010 03:34AM

Will be driving up to Cork again for work tomorrow. I'd say they be ok though. Least no snow.

kingtut · 03-01-2010 05:52PM

Just got back to cork from wicklow roads were 100% snow and ice free. Work tomorrow dammit :-(

Webmonkey · 03-01-2010 05:55PM

Ice free for now but when snow freezes...its ugly! - I had some close shaves.

Decided I wouldn't bother going up this evening. I'll let it to tomorrow afternoon instead.

I'm actually glad I'm going back to 'work'....least then I'll have a routine going...sick of this business of going to bed 4am and getting up 2/3pm in the day! Didn't go sleep until 7.30am this morning. Always happens when I'm off on a break!

deRanged · 03-01-2010 06:01PM

I can't wait to get back to work tomorrow.

kingtut · 05-01-2010 09:19AM

bump!

deRanged · 05-01-2010 10:21AM

it's a pain walking in this weather. the paths are fairly slippy and it takes way longer. bring on the thaw!

Webmonkey · 05-01-2010 10:43AM

Place was in sh*t this morning! The drive to CIT was interesting when I decided turn left at the model farm road industrial estate and took shortcut through housing estate. Crazy...all of CIT is slippy too.

_Roz_ · 05-01-2010 11:14AM

I'm stuck in Kerry coz there's no buses running. I was on my way down today and couldn't go :mad:

Webmonkey · 05-01-2010 11:29AM

I heard it snowing down there again. I just got up in time so :rolleyes: - waste time being here anyways, nobody seems to be in.

deRanged · 05-01-2010 11:33AM

it's fairly quiet round here too.

Webmonkey · 05-01-2010 11:34AM

I also feel a flu coming on. Feeling like crap

Motivation is so low as well...feel like doing absolutely nothing.
