Yes, I was in Dromod also - it was indeed a strange sight!!

People were walking across the frozen harbour - not us I hasten to add and I definitely would'nt advise anyone to do it

My mam said that her grandfather remembered a winter when they walked across the frozen Shannon with a horse and cart :eek:
