    temps that low you wont get any heavy snow, it will be just the light powder. For the best snow you need a temp of around 0
    As you mentioned earlier Knock is much higher temp than low areas. This -10C is a low area and the temp is higher higher up and the precipitation higher up may be heavy and it'll still be heavy in the low areas a little lower down

    I was suppossed to fly from knock to london today, cancelled my flight, leaving it till thursday and cut my holiday short. Its lethal out there, wouldnt want anyone driving me to the airport at 7am this morning. Ive heard as well, my local council depot have no grit left and are just using a small stone like grit, just for traction.

    I agree, the roads were absolutely lethal when I drove up from Galway last night away from main routes. On Galway Bay FM yesterday, it was revealed that grit allocated for Galway roads was sent to Dublin.
