Planning on taking the bike to work tomorrow. Don't fancy the new cabra bridge in the snow.

I cycled in the last 'big snow'. It's grand when it's fresh. Once it starts compacting it's a bollox. Just take it easy and be prepared to get off and walk for bits. You'll get where you're going.

Cheers, yea that's the plan. a lot easier to hop off the bike and wheel it than having the car stuck somewhere. I'm less than 8km from work so I am lucky.

Mostly cycling these days, about 18k about half through hellish traffic (for cars).

Looking forward to slow-motion passing endless cues of anger.

Ask them for a work mobile phone or GTFO

They don't want to get stuck paying another day of leave leave like they did with that hurricane.


I really wish people would stop saying "the beast from the east"

I was just over on boards.ie trolling the weather nerds. Good sport.

I'd love Thursday and Friday off work

I'm off Thurday and Friday anyway as it happens, yay!. I feel a tad embarrassed saying "The Beast from the East", so I'm just saying cold snap instead.
People in work are already reminiscing about the BIG SNOW in the 80s and the last BIG SNOW from 2010.
I couldn't really give a rats arse.

Do you all have a shovel? I don't.

I bought one for the 2010 snow. It's been at my back door and hasn't been used since.

 

[rettucs]

will swap it for a loaf of bread

A hail stone went down my shirt when I went out at lunch time :-(

I have my bare hands and an Aldi vest

I'm hearing loads about the big snow of 2010. I don't remember any bad snow.
