Up here by Newbliss, Co Monaghan it hasn't stopped snowing at all today. I don't think I've ever seen such persistent snowfall :eek:

Hi all

Congratulations to ye that have the glorious white stuff falling from the sky!!

Quick question, is there any chance that there is thunder in the air at the moment?? over north Leitrim specifically?

No snow, just rain here. It tried to sleet earlier but merely padded out a couple of raindrops

The Donegal Postman reported on Highland Radio this morning that he saw a fox get married to a badger on Mount Errigal last night. He said that's either a sign of snow on the way...or that Head Shops in Donegal are deadly bud!!!!!
