    Left Tallaght village at 3:15pm, home in Charlesland at 4pm. M50 grand. Bit of slush on the road between Kilmac and the turn off for charlesland. Farankelly road fine but very slow. Charlesland estate like an ice rink.

    Not too bad all things considered.

    84 - don't think they are running tomorrow as no buses were coming into Greystones at all today - Maybe you could get Dart to Bray and finnegans bus to sandyford luas?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I just made it into Sandyford, I drove up the farrenkelly road and that wasn't too bad. The M50 is pretty bad though and the sandyford exit is very slushy!

    Where does the finnegans bus leave from in Bray? I didn't even consider this as an option. It would be very handy on mornings like this.

    Has anyone seen any Aircoaches operating? According to their website (updated regularly, and latest at 03.45am) they're running a full service from Greystones even over the supposedly impassable Windgates hill and were doing so even when DB were cancelling everything left right and centre yesterday.

    I'm supposed to be going to the airport tomorrow (if my flight isn't cancelled, that is!)from Bray and I'd like some confirmation that they are actually running.

    i drove over Windgates into Bray around 8.30, no problem. Also the hill at the top of Bellevue road (Tesco end) was manageable

    Just drove from Arklow on the N11, down Farrankelly Road and into Kilcoole - all roads were fine, no problems at all, a bit slushy but no slipping at all.

    Into town in under an hour this morning and back out in 40 minutes. N11 clear all the way to junction at SAR outside lane slushy in places but driving lane is fine.

    Will be scary if it freezes over.

    Thanks. With all the warnings of -10 at night etc, the roads don't appear to have frozen over at all so far. That seems to be the main difference with last January's snow.

    The sun is out, the temps are at around 2 degrees at the moment - Met eireann are saying the temps will drop to -11 tonight! (probably not that low with us being beside the sea). Melting sludgy snow developing overnight into nice dirty brown ice for the morning!

    Dublin is getting lots of snow this evening, Greystones has been shielded from the snow by the Isle of Man today.

    Just back from Lidl and the roads in Charlesland are dreadful.

    Have to drive to Belfast in the morning and I'm hoping Charlesland will be the worst leg of the journey :D

    With a bit of luck.

    I linked to the Dublin CC traffic cameras further back in this thread and there are a good few shots of the M50. Might be worth your while to check it out to see what faces you on your journey!

    Dublin city centre was like the north pole this evening - was amazed to get to Greystones and find the roads were mostly clear. The kids' school (St Patricks) is even threatening to open tomorrow - they won't be impressed when they find out :pac:

    Light snow falling for a while now.

    A threat of frontal snow in the morning which will make things a lot worse.

    According to my hygrometer lowest temp overnight was -5.1C and currently -1.6C. Everything is crunchy under foot and the road is like an ice rink. Go easy out there!
