THE FIRST snow of 2011 fell across parts of Co Donegal yesterday. Some parts of the county received a dusting of snow yesterday morning and in the early afternoon.
Temperatures were expected to fall to -5 in some places last night with warnings from Met Éireann that rain will fall as sleet and snow in many places.
Amateur weatherman and postman Michael Gallagher says we are set for another freezing spell. “All the signs are that the cold snap is far from over and I think we’re going to have plenty more snow before we put this winter behind us,” he said.
Met Éireann is predicting temperatures of between 3 and 7 degrees today across the country.
The forecast is for cold weather for the rest of the week with “temperatures below normal with frosts at night under clear skies and also some sleet or snow showers at times”.
