We had snow again last night on top of an inch from friday night. It was down at -7 at 4am when I was up. Water in all 3 sheds frozen but the sun is out now and there is a bit of a thaw on at the moment. More of the same promised for all this week unfortunately. Hopefully there won't be any more snow. I can handle the frost.

Add salt to water and run it through the milk line after the evening milking

Snow on ground since Friday night in north Galway. Milking parlour ok this morning took no precautions frozen badly this evening took ages to free -5 at moment. Very early for this type of weather ?

Get the wife to get you some Neutrogena- its the only stuff heavy duty enough in conditions like these.

I have to agree neutrogena is the one for the hands, but scholl do a special cream for cracked heels.

seems to be a bit of a thaw , some of the drinkers that where frozen yesterday are defrosted today.... oh has a run in the lorry to wexford, kilkenny and cork , he will only have gutters on that wont weigh much , what are the roads like? we assumed that with the snow we where supposed to get last night we would be snowed in , but we gone no more

Same here in Kildare- its 2 degrees this morning, and there was a bit of a thaw. Be careful though- its dropped .5 degree in the last half hour, and we now have 35 mile and hour winds from the east- which is slightly ominous.

whelan1

got a good bit of snow during the night

2cm lying on the ground.
Ground temperature -5
No local roads gritted or salted this morning

Made some snow on the Twlve Bens/'Turks there over the weekend. Not a bit since, freezing but no snow. Was in the City with herself and it made an inch and a half night before last, no snow last night though.

Enjoying listening to the radio, you'd swear the country was sat under 10 foot of white stuff :pac:

valtraman

We got 7 inches here in carlow since 9,30 this morning 9 to 10 inches over all we got an hour break and it is back snowing again now the roads are serious especially in the tractor pajero not too bad

The_Conductor

~4 inches since 2PM- and now -4 and snowing gently, but continuously......

Sam Kade

No snow in Mallow north Cork yet The ground is dry since the cold weather began so there is no problem driving

whelan1

we got a good lashing last night... dont think there will be school for a long time around here

pakalasa

Not a flake of snow here yet in the clare / limerick area either.:D

johngalway

Not a flake ever.

Out shooting last night, should have brought the temp gauge out into the wind instead of leaving it on the car parked in shelter!

Was much colder than this.

gav86

None since Tuesday now, tonight is gonna be baltic tho

reilig

No Snow since last friday night. Good hard frost but roads in good shape - even managed to get out for a cycle last night. Pity about the frozen drinkers in 1 shed. It could be a long evening with the kettle.

At work today. Westmeath is pretty hard hit.

Nutcase

over a foot of snow in dublin.. will have 2 dig car out if want 2 go anywhere!!

blue5000

About half an inch around here on Sunday, and snowed last night around 10 o'clock for 5 minutes. Young lad is really desperate to make a fckin snowman!

babybrian

more snow forecast for 2nite in midlands but I hope they are wrong which they often are.. trying to get the drinking bowls to trickle just enough water is hardship but better than going around with water the next morning.

johngalway

Rain, sleet & snow extending from the West tonight according to the forecast.

ihatetractors

Was up on the mountain again today, m8 drove into!! a 4ft snow drift. Funniest thing i ever did see, Thank god no frozen pipes etc,

whelan1

only 1 drinker working, using hose for the rest , a total pain in the butt

red bull

Same here and no thaw in sight........... where are the greens and global warming
