The Clare Champion Clare news, sport, entertainment and local notes
CLARE County Council have said that the depth of snow has generally varied from 10-20cm, but it has been deeper on elevated ground in the north and east of the county.
There are reports of drifting in some places, and it says that it expects many roads to be impassable. While the N67 at Corkscrew Hill was impassable for 48 hours, it expects this situation to improve soon.
Eighteen calls were made to its helpline up to 9.30am this morning, while the local authority is still advising people to stay at home unless absolutely necessary.
The Council has five snow ploughs, that it says are currently engaged on clearing snow along the county’s national secondary and main regional routes.
