    Last night there was a nice topping up of the snow already lying here. But instead of turning to slush overnight it froze so I was able to go out and take pictures this morning.
    This is what snow mad people dream about, utterly fantastic conditions outside with snow stuck to everything.
    If the roads don't look like there's much on them its simply because they've already been ploughed but the effect is still beautiful.
    Hope you like them :) (I've added some more on page two of this thread of around the area..if you can handle that much snow!!)

    Exactly what SC did couple years back and has been rewarded big time. There is the flip side of course with crap driving conditions more often (esp next monday :pac: ) but SC is very happy with the trade off.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, Mothman your bang on there, they'll drag me kicking and screaming from this place :)

    Here's some more photos (yes yet more!!) from this afternoon of the weird features caused by the wind on the powdery snow, pretty cool as well as come shots of Scarr mountain. Note the depth of the tracks left by the tractor in the second pic, the snow here is so deep its just silly now :)

    If you mean in which photo, its the alpine looking white mountain in the background of picture 2 with the tractor tracks.

    Scarr Mountain is right behind Annamoe village, and I suspect a major reason for the area getting dumped on in an easterly wind and lashed out it on rain events from the SE
    You get a great view of it leaving Roundwood village heading towards Laragh and Glendalough.

    Wonderful pictures SuperCell, I took a holiday in the log cabins in Glenmalure last September (not too far from your location) and the surrounding countryside is stunning, snow or no snow.

    Glenmalure is a lovely spot indeed though its a bit lower than here so may not have as much if the white stuff, that said its a gorgeous area in its own right.

    For me (and I suspect most others here), there's no such thing as "too many pictures" of the fabulous snow around you there, Supercell. You have a lot of truly spectacular shots, beautifully captured.

    Thanks for sharing so many with us.

    Thats a lot of snow, how high is your elevation again? I doubt there is even that depth of snow on top of Baurtregaum mountain overlooking Tralee atm which is 850m.
