Chills and spills in InishSNOWen
21.12.09
INISHOWEN woke up to a
pristine blanket of snow and sub zero temperatures
yesterday, delighting children but causing major
travel disruption for motorists.
Several inches of snow fell overnight with many icy
patches on untreated roads. The worst of the cold
weather has gripped Donegal, many other parts of
Ulster, Connacht and north Leinster. Meteorologists
expect the icy snap to last, at least, into the
early days of this week. |

Road temperatures
remained below zero in Inishowen yesterday as
drivers were advised not to undertake unnecessary
journeys.
Despite the winter chill, children in the
peninsula had fun in the first snowfall of the
season yesterday. Snowman construction, snowballing,
sliding and sledging was the main order of the day.
Meanwhile, Donegal County Council's gritting trucks
continue to be on
alert as temperatures plummet. To view more photos
