Good to hear. Worth mentioning though that the worst of the overnight snow seems to have fallen in dublin city centre !

Still a fair bit of snow forecast for today and met have upgraded the advisary to a severe weather warning for mainly the east leinster area.

sublimity · 02-02-2009, 10:12

More widespread snow tonight and tomorrow.
Dublin should get a fair covering.
Rush hour this evening could be very messy.

ThomasJ · 02-02-2009, 10:25

snowfall over dublin 2 as i speak!

Mark Hennessy · 02-02-2009, 10:48

It was pretty heavy in South Co. Dublin before 8am.

DARTs and Dublin Bus were running well before 8am though which was good.

two heavy snowfalls in dublin 2 over the last half hour! could be a long night!

sublimity · 02-02-2009, 17:40

Heavy snowfall expected late tonight/tomorrow morning for Dublin.
Could be chaos on the roads tomorrow morning.

ThomasJ · 02-02-2009, 17:44

There already is in a number of places. heard from home heavy snow falling in clonsilla and is sticking. People on the boards website saying there has been accidents in arklow town and aa roadwatch reporting many places on the rosslare line arklow/gorey/rathdrum are telling passengers to take care or avoid them.

Dublin city centre has also got its fair share!

Could be a long night! Take care folks in travelling tonight!

ThomasJ · 02-02-2009, 18:05

I am beside Dublin Castle and I have not seen Dublin City centre like this in years! some serious amount of snow falling and sticking. cars are covered in the white stuff and no sign of it letting up!

Thomas Ralph · 02-02-2009, 18:37

There's already a white carpet across most of D4 and it's staying put. It's a night to light the fire and stay in!

ThomasJ · 02-02-2009, 18:42

Ah wheres the inner child? get out and throw a few snowballs! Seriously though it could be more to come, and it will be interesting to see how public transport fairs in the morning should it hold up or get worse!

All Luas Red and Green Line services are running as normal today.There are no weather related disruptions.

Thank you.

ThomasJ · 02-02-2009, 19:32

I'm hoping that the Maynooth line stays running later tonight am hearing outbound to the N3 is absolute chaos and record slow journies!

Mark Gleeson · 02-02-2009, 20:06

I'm in the D2 and not a flake of the white stuff to be seen anywhere

Dublin Airport is closed due continuing snow, so it looks like things are going to get nasty tonight with the freeze

Mark Hennessy · 02-02-2009, 20:14

Took the Green Line and Irish Rail home this evening and both ran perfectly.

Nice one, hope it stays that way.

Mark Gleeson · 02-02-2009, 20:20

The removal of Greystones DART services always has a massive positive impact on the service in general

I'm expecting chaos tomorrow, those wonder folks in Irish Rail despite the 1.5 or so billion have failed to provide a few basic bits of kit for these conditions, and yes the crew in Belfast despite being broke have a freeze proof network

ThomasJ · 02-02-2009, 23:16

blanchardstown is a disaster zone tonight

just missed the 21:55 pearse maynooth so went to catch a 39 bus and was told by the inspector that the buses were taking upto 3 hours to get out there due to traffic so waited over an hour on the 23:10 pearse maynooth and am currently on it.

am expecting the worse for the morning.

Mark Hennessy · 03-02-2009, 09:42

Though the waether wa much improved today, both Irish Rail Maynooth line and Green line ran perfectly.

In fact the 07:58 from Maynooth was pretty much on time despite a broken door taking time in Loiusa Bridge.

sublimity · 03-02-2009, 11:58

Dublin didn't get the heavy snow that was expected. I think the south is being worst hit. Snow could return later this evening
