Snowing heavily in west limerick for the past hour

Tis like that most weekends

Driving in a blizzard since Urlingford. 2 hours to get from Rathdowney services to Naas.
Poor driving conditions.

Multiple accidents on Portlaoise section I believe. Itā€™s flaking snow here

Its been hammering it down here since 2pm and no sign of it slowing down

Roasterā€¦

Fook, itā€™s going to get worse.

Heavy snow here on the peninsula

Heavy snow coming down in Dublin Aiport. Hopefully a few cancellations now.

Left LK at 2.15. Had to make a stop with Child at J14. Didnā€™t get there until about 4.45. Am now just beyond the M7 roadworks at some shitty topaz place. Took us three hours to get between junction 14 and 7. Skidded a number of times as did all cars around. Bedlam

Jesus, that sounds horrible with a baby in the car

Horrendousā€¦ Her mother in tears sure. Two of them happy out now. Baba on the tit having a great time. Very fucking stressful few hours. Thankfully traffic seems to be moving ok and we can move on soon

We got through it, and all are fine. A minor inconvenience when youā€™re all back in the warmth of the sitting room with a cold beer and a bit of leftover chicken. There was a poor lad in a Jetta, who just got out of the car at one stage on the M7 roadworks. I think he just wasnā€™t sure why his wheels kept spinning. I hope the poor fella got home ok. A few lads acting the maggot driving up the hard shoulder but when it got very dodgy, there was a sense of solidarity. Everybody keeping their distance and willing each other on

Sound like ye were lucky to get home alive.

Tens of thousands died on that road today. He was one of the few who lived to tell the tale

Iā€™m here refreshing this page for the last three hours waiting for updates. I feared the worst at times. I wonder had he a boot full of bread.

Was it the snow that caused all the hassle?
