The “stay indoors” advisory issued on Thursday has been lifted but it really doesn’t look as if anyone is going anywhere today with reports of snow drifts on several local routes. Live updates can be found on the Delvin Facebook Page.

Meanwhile, in Killucan, David Corrigan had to dig his way out this morning to a stranded car. He reports there are abandoned cars on some roads and routes are only passable to heavy machinery with snow drifts up to 6ft in places.
