River Moy ice flow
In honour
of the lovely weather we have been enjoying this past week. Let’s remember when
it was really really really cold.
During the week just before Christmas back in
2010, the west of Ireland experienced record low temperatures. With foxford reaching
the lowest at -17.5. The result was both the river Moy and the two lakes Lough
Cullin and Lough Conn freezing over. When the ice starting to melt, it’s was
quite the sight.
Don’t worry the duck was fine
