Christmas Day 2009 in Carrick-on-Shannon, the county town of Co. Leitrim. The photograph shows the avenue of trees on either side of the Dublin road (N4) covered in frost and snow taken on the morning - by late afternoon, the white had disappeared as the rain arrived. My recollection of the day is that the temperature rose from around -7C in early morning to just above zero by evening - a huge swing in temperature.

The Man & Boy statue in Carrick-on-Shannon in Co. Leitrim, Ireland. The photograph was taken during the winter of 2009 (Christmas Eve) when most of Ireland was covered in snow. In the background, obscured by the icy fog,is a river boat and also the bridge that spans the river Shannon which marks the boundary between counties Leitrim and Roscommon.
