Snowy Irish Roads
Darren McLoughlin
Ireland has been hit by storm after storm this autumn and winter with more to arrive, and although there has been some snow on sheltered east-facing slopes on the mountains that ring the country, there has been no widespread frozen precipitation over the country.
Winds, driven rain and warm conditions have meant trees down, flooding and the need for waterproof clothing rather than insulating layers.
Here is an image from snowy roads a few years ago at Christmas. It is rare for snow to lie on the ground for more than a few days in Ireland but in some years there can be an exception to this rule and it makes for some fun.
