in Dublin still looking out on snow

Is it thawing or not  can i manage to move out today - to wear socks or not (over the boots!)?   Its day 5/6 and this enforced leisure has been interesting - I can affod to say this as the heating has been adequate the TV wasn't interrupted and I had a few painting chores to finish.    Unlike my country associates who's electricity failed and they were down to the last candle!     So despite the inconvenience of restricted movement Im doing ok.

will it ever thaw
