Fuck's sake Kevin.... :razz:

 

Gritter lorries attacked by youths in city

 

Gritting lorries treating dangerously-icy roads have been attacked by youths in Londonderry on Sunday.

 

The window of one vehicle was smashed and the Roads Service was not able to grit a number of roads in the Creggan and Gobnascale areas.

 

Elsewhere, the service said all roads had now been treated and were "passable with care".

 

About 93 schools across Northern Ireland were closed beause of the bad weather.

 

Sinn Fein councillor Kevin Campbell said people in Creggan had been on standby to escort the gritters in and out of the area.

 

"People on the ground were very annoyed at the fact that pensioners and other people were in effect locked down because Roads Service weren't in and gritting the area."

 

SDLP MLA Pat Ramsey said young people should know better than to attack gritters.

 

"Young people should know what's right from wrong in these situations, and this is getting out of hand."

 

Roads Service said evening gritting services were withdrawn from the area for "operational reasons", but normal service will resume following co-operation with local representatives."

 

Overnight temperatures in Castlederg, County Tyrone, were recorded at -8.5C and -7.1C in Enniskillen.

 

On Sunday, temperatures plummeted to the coldest on record for November in Northern Ireland.

 

The lowest reading was at Lough Fea which dropped to -9.5C (14.9F).

 

The next coldest temperature was -9C (15.8F) recorded in 1978 at Murlough.

 

The Roads Service warned of extremely hazardous driving conditions and advised drivers to exercise caution.

See that lightening there, must be 10 mile away cos it took 20 seconds for the bang. It's strange having lightening when its cold.

Right then boys,

how long has it been taking to get into the city centre by road?

I've been asked to go in tomorrow to make safe some loose panelling on a building and I'm wondering how long I need to give myself to get in?

Roads were pretty clear this afternoon tbh but this morning was an absolute nightmare... best bet would be to either set off stupidly early or after rush hour tbh. Checked weather and it looks fine tbh until mid day but then lots of snow again so maybe getting in early would be better
