Is the snow really that bad? It seems the country falls apart with a little bit of snow. Surely all major roads & cities should be unaffected & just hilly rural roads blocked?

It is currently taking 2hours+ from Dublin City centre to middle of Chapelizod by pass due to an accident.

Same as in London. Transport network absolutely crippled. Was stranded in Madrid airport waiting for a flight to Heathrow that was cancelled in the end. Got to Gatwick only to find all buses cancelled and delays on most tube lines. madness.

Not left work let so don't know what like out there. Snow is a novelty in Dublin city & I thankfully don't have far to go...

Its like an episode of 24 - we are 24 hours away from total anarchy

Played football in the snow just now, not too bad, just a light dusting. Feckin' freezing too! Still a huge red mark above my knee where it got a thump of a ball.
Loks like we might get a good lash of it here overnight.

Snowing lightly at the minute.

Same here. I'd say it'll snow overnight though. Hopefully the roads will be impassable in the morning

Jesus Stephen Parkhouse looks very pale! Tell him see a doctor quick!

Streets very quiet in Dublin city at 9pm on way home with light snow. Of course some learner female driver in a Ford Ka was so alert she drove down the quays with no lights on

Any sign of local authorities salting the main roads?

Blanket of snow out by Tallaght/Clondalkin and still snowing heavily..

Meanwhile, it's a clean, clear, crisp night in Kerry, ne'er a sniff of that magical white powder that seems to energise and excite many people far beyond normal levels.

I can actually only remember one occasion in my ever-increasing lifetime when we got a decent covering of snow in non-mountain areas down here. I was about 10 and had a couple of great days. Alas, it was a brief and one-off dalliance; but it's a long-term memory!
