    That's a shocking commute even if the weather was grand; you hardly do that every day?!

    Seen a brazzer out on the corner earlier. I took her home and rogered her senseless. She's now wrapped under my silk sheets sipping on champagne. Do your bit and don't leave our working women out in the cold.

    You can actually see the 1 green patch where I live in Wicklow that's been relatively unaffected and now completely green. It's also the warmest part of the country and one of the few places where the temp is in the positive numbers. Boo Hoo! :mad:

    Arklow is in that green spot also:mad: so not fair:eek:

    My parents have not left their house since Saturday. They are beginning to run out of supplies. Anyone know what it is like in the Rockbrook, Mount Venus Road area? I am going to walk up with supplies from Ballinteer? No panic yet but I would like to get an idea as to what conditions I will face.

    Haven't been up there but I'm 2mins down the road on Stocking Avenue. They're higher than we are and we've nearly 2ft of snow and the roads haven't been plowed. Walking is fine with a good pair of shoes and be wrapped up. I wouldn't suggest driving.

    I was walking around Lucan village and came across this poor snowman. He looked frozen so I brought him home and sat him down in front of the fire. Put on the kettle and went out to get some milk for the tea only to come back to find the little fcuker had pissed on the floor and scarpered.

    About an hour ago it shifted more northerly but it'll be spinning to westerlies over the course of the night.

    See www.xcweather.co.uk for a decent wind forecast, that site has good graphics.

    Have you enquired if any of the supermarkets are still doing deliveries in that area?

    My parents are elderly too but did manage to get a delivery from an on-line order today.

    I don't live near them but a young couple across the road have called most days to see if they need anything. Community spirit lives on!
