Roads are very slippy today, stay safe when driving.
Grand auld day in Wexford in between the showers 7°c and partly sunny.
@: Roads weren’t too good this morning. Worst they’ve been around Gorey since cold snap started. Plenty of motorists complaining of wheels spinning whilst driving. I came of my bike,and was lucky to stay on another four times during a 15 minute cycle. In the end I finished my journey on foot.
Told us few days ago thaw with rain at the weekend.
Obviously very little gritting done overnight, nor tonight I expect…
have your say
