Snow Brings Creative Magic to Millstreet!
Although it’s been very cold in recent times the arrival of snow has truly motivated some very creative magic such as the three snow sculptures which were superbly created by one of our wonderful Artists from Ukraine, Karina, outside the Wallis Arms Hotel….admired by so many including Margaret Healy (pictured) and Donie O’Mahony (also pictured). We thank Jerry O’Connor for alerting us to the magical sculptures. Here we also share further special snow images recorded throughout Millstreet. Tap on the pictures to enlarge. (S.R.)

We begin with two images kindly provided by Brian Kelleher, Aubane which he recorded at the foot of Mushera and at its Cross at the summit of the challenging mountain climb. Then we view snow covered Clara Mountain from a variety of angles. Tap on the images to enlarge….and keep safe and warm! (S.R.)

Evening Snow in St. Mary’s
Tom has been taking lots of photos of the snow, but this may be his best this week. It’s St. Mary’s Graveyard taken last evening from the top looking down towards the road. There’s something lovely about the connection between the graveyard, and the life across the road with smoke and lights, and evening colours. But the first thing we noticed in the photo was that the paving was distinctly similar to the outline of Christ the Redeemer in Rio. Whatever you think, it is a magical photo. See more of his photos at his TMC Photography website.
Below are some more of Tom‘s photos from this week: [read more …] “Evening Snow in St. Mary’s”
The snow loves Ballydaly – it’s still hanging around !!!
Enough is enough! Please go away snow and let us get back to some sort of normality. Most other places are long clear of the snow, but lots of people around still have frozen pipes and numerous other problems because of the snow. – photos by Geraldine Dennehy

In Pictures: Snow Snow and more Snow
The last few days of snow have been enjoyable for many, and it was great to see so many people getting out and enjoying the novelty of so much snow … however, after three days stuck inside, some are complaining about cabin fever! Now that the snow is disappearing, we thank all those that sent us photos and tagged millstreet.ie in photos and videos. We didn’t have time to put them all up individually, so they are all here together:

Magical Snow Event 2018 at Mount Leader, Millstreet
While many of us are still snowbound (and trying to overcome a cold) thankfully a thaw is near. Here with some 36 images we hope to share the magic of the past few days although undoubtedly days which created challenges for many. Our base is Mount Leader where the kindness of neighbours delivering provisions and delicious soup is so hugely impressive. Thankfully also electrical power has been maintained and the water supply continues to flow. While my cat liked to roll in the snow she was delighted to be indoors in the warmth of my home. And she has been great company during this amazing time. Transmission of Church TV (although somewhat affected by weather conditions) is brilliant and a great advantage to the parish. So let’s begin our “magical tour”. Click on the images to enlarge especially the later selection in “read more”. Enjoy! (S.R.)
And we continue to share 24 more images of our “magical tour”. To access these just click on “read more” and also click on the pictures to enlarge. (S.R.)

A Snow Day Tradition
It’s been a few years since we had a proper snow day in Millstreet, so when the opportunity arose on Friday there was a fine crowd, young and old, keeping up the tradition of tobogganing down the Deer Park.
They came early though. It started snowing about 10pm on Thursday, and by 1am there were a dozen or more already on the hill. And they came in big numbers on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the melt had begun, and only two were spotted on the hill, but only for a few minutes as they obviously discovered what sliding down on wet snow was like !

Friday’s Snow Scenes in Millstreet

Snowballs before School
Snow showers last night and early this morning, meant there was a chance for a snowball fight before school. Fortunately it was dry snow 🙂
Almost a White Christmas
After a mild and damp Christmas Day, the rain got heavier on St. Stephen’s Morning, only to turn to snow in the afternoon, missing out on a white Christmas by just a day. John was up on Clara this afternoon, and took these photos:

Recent Millstreet Winter Wonderland
Winter is Coming!
The Sun is shining bright,
there’s a chillness to the air,
I feel it everywhere,
All through the day and night;
Winter is coming!
(Alexander Byron)
After a lovely autumn, the temperatures dropped last night to give us the first real sign of winter with snows on the hills.
Donal stopped at Togher on the road over Mushera this morning to make this snowman.
Last Snow of the Winter ?
A week ago there was a sudden and unexpected heavy snowfall which blanketed the area, especially Mushera which got a good deep cover. While it’s lovely to look at, hopefully it will be the last one of the year, and that the weather will pick up, after what has been an awful winter. (With thanks to Paul/Noreen O’Connor who took the 30+ photos below at dawn last Sunday in the Mushera / Knocknakilla area).
On Clara in Snow
Beautiful views on top of Clara Mountain today as a light blanket of snow has covered the mountain and hills around.

A Morning of Snowmen
We got the best part of six inches of snow last night. Before it melts in the storm this evening, children were busy enjoying the snow before school this morning making snowmen. We love snowmen, so here are a few but send us a photo of yours (to contact @ millstreet.ie) if you’d like it added:

A Snowy Morning – wind, rain, and cold to come
Today is St. Hilary’s feast day, traditionally the coldest day of the year. So it was not unexpected that we awoke to a blanket of snow in town as well as the hills around us (it’s the second snowy morning this winter). We may get a few more flurries as the day goes on, but it could also be rain :-/.
But please be aware that the forecast for the next few days isn’t great. Tomorrow afternoon until Thursday is going to be very windy and wet too, and after that it will get cold barely getting above freezing during the day, and getting even colder at the weekend. More details below:
