Some pics of the recent snow.

These ones were taken in Phoenix Park on Sunday:

Sunrise the other morning in Kildare facing towards the Wicklow Mountains:

Snow shots in Laois from Monday Morning:

And finally the heavy snow this morning near Moone in Kildare! Measure 17cm of snow this morning:

Oh yeah fresh snow to drive through!! 4WD only I would say as only had enough clearance that way to get through!

Not so fast lads, meet Ethan:

Maybe we should create a separate thread for animal winter pictures?

Deadly dog, ill leave the judges to decide what to do. Tough call.

My fella is sitting outside covered in a blanket of snow, he loves it though, wouldnt come in for a bowl of food. He looks very relaxed.

looking towards Mt Leinster from just outside Bunclody. You can make out the transmitter standing proudly in all-white in the distance. (Apologies, can't figure out how to place the image inline)

I propose a separate Snow Doggy thread.
This way I can "aaawwww" without having to look at silly dogless countryside.

Id be careful unless you have winter tyres on ur 4x4. I had chains on my car at the weekend and went up to the sally gap. I saw 2 different 4x4s sliding down roads sideways, they just didnt have any grip at all. but with snowsocks, chains or winter tyres id say you would be fine. You dont want to end up sliding down a mountain and hitting a wall. :eek:

In Grimstad, not too far from Risør actually. Similar places.

Not too cold yet, -10 at the moment. It got down to -30 last year.

I think its going to be as cold this year with even more snow !!

Snowed in, despite having cleared snow on and off for days.

Icicles a go go. Note the snow in the background overhanging the roof.

This was gathering dust in the kitchen cupboard. Its a pizza peel, which is handy for home-made pizzas into and out of the oven without making a mess. Makes a great implement for clearing snow!
