Did you work this morning or 'tis only a bit of snow?

[watty]

I decided discretion is the better part of valour.  Whatever about my driving, I'd be worried about someone running into the back (or side!) of me.   I went out for the newspaper at 7am this morning and cleared the snow off my windows but it  re-covered my taxi within the hour so it's heavy enough and sticking.

And I guess it's one of the downsides of an EV (and maybe any new car).  If I crashed and needed spare parts, I could be waiting a month or more 

So back home now with a nice cup of coffee.  Just hope there's something good on the telly

If we get real snow be interesting to hear hoe EVs hold the road .I drive a Fluence useless in snow or ice to light at the rear .

It's extremely easy to spin the front tyres in damp conditions as I found out when my EV was new.  I even spun the wheels in 3rd gear one day but that was deliberate    Not gonna chance it in this snow.

Norway:  They probably learn how to drive in snow when they're L-drivers?  But ~25% of cars in Norway are EV and~ 80% of new car sales are EV's.  Ireland is not Norway with our shitty roads!

No snow in the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan. Plenty of rain this morning - particularly heavy (maybe hail) when I got up for a  piss c.04:13, eased off now but still falling and it looks pretty cold outside. I'll not be going far this weekend anyway, cricket and darts on telly.

Bad sign there Rodent midsleep pissing .You might need a finger up the hole to get that checked .

There's about two inches of snow on my yoke at the moment.

Like Watty not driving a shitheap has it's disadvantages.When I was younger and enthusiastic I had no problem taking the Primera out in the snow as there were loads in scrapyards all over the place to get parts off if I messed up.

Should be a busy day for shitheap drivers everywhere if the snow gets worse, as most of the leccy taxis are rear wheel drive.My yoke is FWD but I still don't wanna scratch it for a hundred euro.


What have we become..

[Rat Catcher]

I wonder how far Hal had to go before he saw snow? ...ifn he is/was working today.

[mercenary for hire]

Hal might already have his money made and on the way back home by now..

It's unusual that the city gets it before the outskirts.Maybe it's on the way out to you lads.

Hal was working today...left the gaff around 5.20am...pissin rain and blowin a gale,made about 60 bucks working Drog/Bettystown/Mornington.....First bit of sleet was around Swords...was a bit worster at the airport....Santry was in a jock....traffic was the worst enemy....the car was actually ok in the snow albeit a bit too much torque,the Prius was a much car especially using the "B" gear(regen braking)....job offers from the apps were a bit mental...ended up getting an airport job around 12 from city centre and fucked off home...roads around Dublin were in a jock with packed slush and ice...was glad to get the fuk out of it tbh.
