Would i be right in saying the lowest temp will be recorded over the places where there is a lot of lying snow?

In a way yes.

Little snow avalanches falling off the roof piled up at my backdoor leaving four feet of snow :eek:

It is important to remember the use of hard hats/steel toe boots & high vis vest are important in this weather as falling snow may result in wet hair/feet....:eek:

In about 30/40 minutes I expect to report from Galway... I hope it gets here by then as I'm really tired, but still can't sleep before I see what's falling
