Nearly flew right off the road coming home from work.. Out on the backroad from Slane to the Kells road (n52)..roads were fine..up untill a downhill section that I normally really enjoy..long sweeping downhill left hander ends in sweeping right..

Only today as I was at the top I felt the car twitch..so I removed both feet from the pedals..and thankully madfe it down in one piece..although I did exit at what some would describe as an akward angle.. bloody hell..

Tomorrow.. bring more patience.. It's been over an hour and I'm still having palpatations!

Again this morning...be carefull if you're going out there...nasty cold! Even a bit of snow in some spots..


Also saw a check point on the n2 just after kilshane cross heading direction city center..something to keep in mind if you want to avoid being stuck in the traffic that will back up around it..

The Ballycoolin Road on the way into Ballycoolin Business Park by IBM was like a sheet of ice this morning, the handbrake and some opposite lock was required to keep me on the straight and narrow...

Yeah... skates would have been well handy in a few spots...

Tried taking a picture of the "snow" coming off the n2..

Not sure how well it came out...

Oh and it turned out one of the two cars coming towards me there was a Garda car..not clever taking picuters as you're plodding along..
