My other half woke me up just now to say that there's thunder and lightning......I thought, not a chance, it's -3 outside! Had a look out the window and sure enough there was and it was snowing too!

The motorway just outside Galway was shocking last night. The road hadn't been treated when the snow fell so there was a huge drift in the middle.

@euro-star - Great shot, makes me feel all festive. All it's missing is a wreath on the door.

Had to drive to Enfield and then to the airport last night, when I got to the M50 it started snowing, people still drove like nutters, tailgating

. The motorways still hadn't been treated yet so it was madness. The N7 back to Naas was worse, drove the whole way back at about 50/60 kmh!

Saw a few bumper to bumper crashes, and some vans going off and getting the whole front of the van rippped off by the crash barrier, probably the drivers thought they would have some fun.

Be careful out there, the main roads look ok now though.
