So we thought we had a little snow last week?
Just don’t tell Tony Friel that or he’ll have a right laugh at us.
Tony, who is originally from Termon, now lives in a little place called Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in a town called Hancock on the shores of Lake Superior.
“I see by the Donegal Daily that it is cold with snow, its a little cold here too, and we have a wee bit of snow to go with.
It was -26F (-32C) yesterday, it warmed up to a balmy -6F (-21C) this morning, tomorrow it is supposed to -10F (-23C).
“It’s been snowing for just over a week, at this point we have about 3ft with another 2ft of snow by the weekend.
After that the snow is supposed to stop and the weather is to warm up to 0 to 10F……whoppee,” laughed Tony.
The Donegal man has even had to fit a special snow plough to the front of his jeep to clear a path to get to work.
Tony was kind enough to send us some pictures in case we forget what real snow looks like.
