'Essential travel only' — Garda
The Kilcullen Garda District Text Alert has issued an 'essential travel only' advisory.
Kildare County Council’s Severe Weather Assessment Team re-convened at 10am to discuss and analyse the current and forecasted weather conditions. A status Orange level weather warning remains in place for Kildare with occasional heavy snow showers continuing and leading to further accumulations and some drifting. The Severe Weather Plan has been activated and full crews are in place.
It is still snowing steadily in Kilcullen, and while the Main Street is drivable through slush, the footpaths are covered in snow. We understand that the road to Naas is posing difficulties for some vehicles, in the Two Mile House area.
