While many cars passed through town yesterday with good coatings of snow of them, the spectacle will be far less likely today as temperatures begin to rise.
We have many blessings here in the valley but when it snows we truly understand our situation and our up-hill battle to get out in almost any direction. But it seldom snows and the fall just gone brought little or no hardship to anyone – thank God.
Roads on high ground remained passable but ‘chancy’ – as a Castleisland man once replied to a question on the status of the yellow traffic light during his driving test; he passed. However, you will see from the Met Éireann forecast that things are looking up from here to the weekend.
