whelan1 · 28-11-2010 10:16AM

didn't get anymore snow but had a really hard frost on top of what fell yesterday.... have to walk very slowly so as not to land on my butt:) Thankfully milking parlour wasn't frozen this morning

reilig · 28-11-2010 11:43AM

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.

pakalasa · 28-11-2010 12:06PM

No Snow in Clare. Water pipes frozen though.

Cowmad · 28-11-2010 12:45PM

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

red bull · 28-11-2010 09:44PM

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 ?

bogman_bass · 28-11-2010 10:20PM

cover the pulsators with an old jacket or something to stop them freezing up

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.

did you get snow ?
