On a more tragic note a young girl died here yesterday while sledding down a steep hill and crashed into a large tree which killed her instantly,freinds who were with her survived with injuries and are hospitalised.

Snow
This is what I had to walk through for around 20mins.yesterday from home to the hairdressers to get a haircut and colour for Christmas!More snow due to us during tonight/tomorrow Mon. I think people are generally fed up of the white stuff now as it is curtailing activities everywhere.

Walking in the sunshine!
Today I took advantage of lovely blue skies and sunshine to get out for my walk which I have missed these past two days owing to freezing temps.and icy footpaths which are hard to see in the dark,which is the usual time I manage to get out!
Patches of ice and snow still lingering during the day.
This is the Lough a lovely place to walk around and this morning it was mostly frozen over though not as much as last year when skaters took their lives in their hands and skated on the surface!See photos from last January on my side bar!
Sorry for the blurry picture!
It pays to obey the signs!
Spotted these geysers/fountain type things this morning,must be to keep the water flowing for the birds like a kind of oasis for them in the frozen waters!
The Christmas Crib waiting to be unveiled where it will be complete with the full size figures and lighting.
The little girl I mind was at home sick so that gave me a free morning to stretch my legs and excercise! The temperature is due to fall to -8 tonight with rain and wind forecast too so we can expect slippery surfaces tomorrow! We are not as badly off as the east of the country though as snow is falling fairly heavily there and all sorts of problems are being caused to transport both land and air.It used to be that rain and wind was the bane of our lives here in Ireland but now I would take the rain anyday,at least we can get out and travel around!At least the local councils seem to have the gritting and salting of main roads under control so all is not lost.

Pictures of our snowy surroundings today around our home and garden!
Its been snowing steadily since mid-morning, dry snow for a change, snowmen and women have appeared in neighbouring gardens,cars are skidding trying to get up onto the main road from here,the local airport has closed down for the night and water supplies are dodgy, we have none at the moment but are being supplied by neighbours who have.
