    Driving home the other night I was relieved to find how clear it was south of Glen of the Downs. Looking down towards the Glen and Bray Head yesterday I could see the snow clouds on the far side (north). We didn't get the worst of it for some reason. We're pretty well protected by the hills and mountains around.

    This I think backs up Johns theory re: Isle of Man

    Just popped up to the village there in the last hour - roads in Charlesland are crap with black ice on the main roundabout at Seabourne. From the swimming pool up to the village is fine, but came back through the Burnaby and it was unbelievably leathal.

    Just drive slowly.

    And it's only 10pm... It'll probably get a lot worse overnight!

    Thanks for that info.

    Just a quick note:

    The little rivers running across the road from melted snow on the SAR have turned into ice this evening. It's leathal.

    Another few days of disruption ahead it seems. Could be seeing considerable white stuff Saturday to Monday.

    Roads could be dangerous from this evening onwards.

    Lots more info on the weather forum on here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=374

    It's hammering down snow here in SoCoDu.

    Any snow in Greystones? How is the N11?

    I'm here in Ballinteer till 6pm so hoping to get home behind a snowplough or something!

    It was single lane on the N11 at Glen of the Downs on my way home (southbound) today at about half 4 because of roadworks - this was causing tailbacks up to Kilmac - could be gone by now though....

    Yes, they started lifting the cones at 4.30. And it was hedge trimming rather than roadworks. I think Shane Ross wrote a book about them. it's called ''wasters''

    I think we're in for some serious snowfall here tonight. South dublin today was just crazy. Took me 45 minutes to get onto n11 from foxrock.
