Mutley Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Be good if they ran the Steam Train this week as I'd imagine the buses will be disrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piebaps Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 They can't run the trains - its the wrong type of snow. Now if we had a decent monorail.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I remember when it snowed one Easter, the trains were working but the buses had been cancelled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Fairy bridge was a mess , took me 1hr 20 min to get to Douglas from PE . People were hesitating to go up the hills at either end so just causing tailbacks . Eventually it cleared at the Santon end I think some bloke in a pick up was helping people up the hill once that was clear then it wasn't too bad .

GrandmaApril Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 A few tips from some one that lives where a forcast of 6-8inches of snow is the norm for a winter day.... A little kitty litter sprinkled under tires will help with traction if you get stuck on ice. Slow down and put it in low gear. Use the snowmobile---oh wait that wont apply here..sorry If all else fails, make a cuppa, light the fire, put your feet up and stay in Love that someone built a snowman on the beach at Port Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germann Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looks like I chose the wrong time to come home for a few days... Left Abu Dhabi for the Isle of Man via Dublin on Friday night, only to have the flight diverted to Shannon as Dublin was closed just before we landed. They then bussed us to Dublin on Saturday morning which took 4 hours, which meant I missed the only flight of the day to the Island, so Etihad put me up for the night. Now today it's Ronaldsway's turn to shut down & I've got another night in Dublin tonight. A 12 hour trip has taken 48 hours so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 i would advise anyone not to use the st marks road as it is now like a sheet of ice, vary vary slippy theres about 4-6in of snow at the round table, and if the wind gets up it will be drifting as it is vary dry and light.

gazza Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 So when will we hear if the schools are out or not? i would take a preety good guess that any down south will be closed. there was about 2-3 in of snow, thats now been packed as ice, cant see that going by the moring, and there is ment to be more snow to come over night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
