    They were probably changing lanes to get around someone like yourself who insists on driving in the outside lane and blocking everything.
    You drive on the inside lane and use the outside lane for overtaking slower moving vehicles within the speed limit.

    For your information, there was nobody behind me all the way into Galway, they were all clutching the steering wheel in fear in the inside lane.
    Thanks for the input though into something you know nothing about.

    Sleet in my own part of Mayo this morning but I did experience a proper snow shower near Carracastle in the east of the county while driving earlier. Near the county border with Roscommon has got a white dusting alright. All clear again a few kilometres further east however.

    I practice everytime the roads are bad, make the car slide and learn how to react to recover in a car park or quiet road.

    Any excuse for some drifting, and I don't mean snow drifts ;-)

    I would suggest the date is simply wrong/it's a default date setting. Not sure there was a network of road traffic cameras in 1970!

    There was hardly a network of decent roads in 1970 outside of Dublin anyway.

    Bit of sleet in Louth

    Well the euro 04 model still wants to be a hero. This is what its 6am model run forecasts for 5pm today. If this is way wrong, remember I'm only the messenger..... Most of the other short term models (Hirlam, Arpege, Icon) strongly disagree. GFS does snow snow tonight but, well, it often does to no avail....

    Edit, on a second look Hirlam does show an ok bit of snow overnight.....

    Just your average January day here in Galway. Overcast low cloud and a few spits of pointless rain now and again.

    it's much the same here. If there is one thing i don't like about this kind of cold, is where it's too marginal for snow during the day, but the damp cold is more uncomfortable than if it were -5 degrees and bone dry.

    I remember in mild winters pass you were still able eek out a snow day or two, that was back in the day when we could still get proper northerlies.

    New to boards.ie here. Have been a “lurker” as you’d call it the last few years. Usually great weather threads so I said I’d sign up to give my 20 cents worth. Last 30 minutes in cork (airport/Carrigaline) it started raining heavily, gradually turned to sleet and then for 5 minutes, heavy hail which coated the roads. Now back to rain. Temperature was at 5 and dropped rapidly to 3 now.

    Thanks. Just to add that contrary to what someone else said earlier, Ive seen us in Cork do ok from these westerly set ups a good few times over the last 7 or 8 years.
