Snow is a rarety in Mayo, theres a great picture on the front of the Irish Times today of 2 Aer Arann pilots walking on the apron infront of their AT43


Knock airport was closed for a large part of the day and flights to six British airports from Dublin, Cork and Knock were cancelled or disrupted.

Bmi Baby cancelled two flights on its Knock to Birmingham route and diverted a flight from Manchester, due to land in Knock, to Shannon airport.

Flights into and out of Ireland West Airport, Knock - the highest airport in the country - were either cancelled or postponed because of the heavy snowfalls there. By midday, there was snow cover of up to seven centimetres on the runway, according to Desmond O'Flynn, the airport's customer relations manager.
