    I'm still at work, I'll wait 'till the traffic dies down (could be a long wait) :(

    It took me just under 2 hours to walk home in the snow. Fell about 50 thousand times and I think I've done something to my left knee now.

    Got lucky, it only took me an hour and a half to Clonsilla :eek:

    The poor mammy's been trying to get home since 4.....

    4 hours - normally only takes one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 580 ✭✭✭karlr42


    I'm going to wait it out until the last trains of the night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭DetectivFoxtrot


    3.5 hours, town to Rathcoole. normally 45 mins. I need a feckin drink, only in da door........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭SoupyNorman


    I was about the only person going to work.

    Twas like the scene from Independence Day when everyone was leaving DC and Goldbloom was the only nutter trying to get in.


    It really was :o

    Hour and a half to get to where I wanted (it's only 15 miles away); but got a lift back so only 25mins


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    Took me an hour and a half. Normal takes me 30mins. Stupidily thought if I took a short cut drove through a housing estate it would get me home quicker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,481 ✭✭✭ollaetta


    Dublin City centre to Rathfarnham, just under 3 hours. Big problems for a lot of cars getting over the bridge on the canal at Donore Avenue (Sallys Bridge). One van driver just gave up and ditched the van.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Over an hr here ,were snowed in big time although some gritting was done on the main roads transport still slow moving


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 122 ✭✭happymondays


    21 minutes, usually takes 15!!

    as soon as the snow hit seems like everyone in dublin had the bright idea they would beat the traffic and leave early around 2 - 3pm and ended causing huge traffic queues, wheni left at 5:30 there was noone left and sailed home!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭El Siglo


    A journey that normally takes me an hour and a half, less some times, took four hours.:eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    If i was stuck in town id go to the pub for a few hot whiskeys and get a later train to avoid all the mayhem!

    2 hours

    Normally takes 30 minutes from Sandyford to Tallaght.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,965 ✭✭✭Shane732


    4 hours but that's only because i came round by Southern Yemen.

    Hmmm... I went via Bulgaria and it took my 4hrs 15 minutes.... Most try that Southern Yemen route tomorrow....

    Man it was a b**ch of a drive home!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,065 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭Eglinton


    2.5 hour drive in South Dublin. Normally takes me 20-25 minutes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,442 ✭✭✭Bandit12


    Usually takes 40 minutes but took nearly 4 hours today :mad: Such is life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭Cheerilee


    3.5 hours.. normally 45 mins..
    patrick st and bridge st being closed added hours onto the journey..
    if I had heard that on the radio earlier would never have taken that route.. they only mentioned it on the hourly news so loads of people didnt hear until it was too late..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭Whippersnapper


    2 hours.

    45 minutes on the DART and an 1hour and 15 minutes walking from there.

    My brother left Donaghmede, D13 at 4pm to head out the M50 and the M4. He rang me at 6 to say he'd only gotten as far as Blanchardstown and again at 8 to say he was at the toll cameras. He still hasn't made it to the M4 yet. I'm in my ma's with the kids waiting to go the same route but it looks like I'll be staying the night now.
