Well what can I say but. WELL DONE DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL. NO GRIT, WHAT A MESS.

Let me explain (rant).
I was merrily on my way into Dublin from a job in the Tullow direction on the N81 yesterday, the roads were bad but passable.
I was aiming to arrive in Dublin for 2pm as I had a hot date with Anna for 3pm.

It was snowing lightly all the time, but when I got to the Tallaght Bypass @1.30 all hell broke loose. Total chaos, the road had turned into a sheet of ice and traffic had ground to a standstill.
Cars sliding all over the place, sideways, forwards, backwards.
Sitting in my car at 2.30 still only about 400 meters farther I came to the dreadful realisation that I hadn't a snowballs chance in hell of making it I texted Anna the bad news.
Anna was great about it ( Thanks Anna ). But boy was I pissed off.
I still had to go into Dublin anyway as I had to pick up a Mate at the train station.
Didn't make it there till 6.45

And then what a trip home

Where I live is usually an hour journey south of Dublin.

Took till feckin 10.45 to get there.

11 hours in the car !!

Next time I coming up the day before

And thanks again Anna ( going off to check weather channel )
