All over bar ?? flooding??

It was a dramatic day here also.

Out early to a market in Leitrim;  traffic coming in from the North was thick with snow and it dumped a blizzard on us there by mid-morning.

The forecast had said this and that heavy rain would soon follow and wash the snow away and that is exactly what happened.

Smaller roads were still treacherous by mid-afternoon, but main roads were clear by then.

All roads now clear again. It never lasts long here ...

Which is why it hits the news as it does.

One stallholder panicked and left mid-blizzard for Killybegs and he will have had a terrible journey as there were lorries stuck etc.

Gales now.. so more ferry delays..

Wind chill is appalling so a day for a huge turf fire and to catch up with knitting etc..

For those kind words we thank you..
 
As you will see from

things have been flying, and probably not the planes.

Last night was amazing....As Saint Patrick has it, "the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks..." But it is calm now and here, we still have power and phone, thankfully. Considering how high up we are....Two of our window boxes were blown away, later to be found quite a way away.

My paths took me on the Blue Stack Drive a few days ago, and the utter beauty of the snow-topped mountains... we can see them from here, along with the hills of Leitrim, Sligo and the North..

We hope it has warmed up over there..Blessings this night
