The icy fog on Christmas morning was so thick that the bridge over the Shannon at Carrick-on-Shannon wasn’t visible from the marina. A month earlier In January¹, the water level was much higher – floodwater was lapping around the entrance of the buildings just visible on the right of the picture.

¹ Original post referred to flooding last month. It was actually January – this post has been scheduled for a couple of months
