Status Yellow weather warning in
place
11.01.17
MET Eireann has issued
a Status Yellow weather warning and is forecasting
very cold wintry weather from tonight (Wednesday)
onwards. Showers will turn wintry in many places
with falls of sleet and snow expected especially on
higher ground.
Donegal County Council would like to remind all road
users to take extra care on the roads and to allow
more time for their journeys during these wintry
conditions.
Motorists and road users in Donegal can stay up to
date on routes to be gritted by checking the Donegal
Winter Gritting map, link below. This map is linked
to the Councils social media platforms and provides
information on routes and length of routes to be
gritted on any given night as well as an hourly
forecast feed for most areas of the county so that
users can check their local weather forecast for the
next 12 to 24 hours. It also shows locations where
sand and grit stock is available for use by the
public. |

Road users can also
view live road conditions at a number of locations
around the county and across the northwest via the
Councils website. Locations include N56 at Gaoth
Dobhair, N15 at Bundoran, N 15 at Lough Mourne, N15
at Killygordon, N13 at An Grianan Aileach, A515

These resources have been developed over the last
number of years with a view to providing road users
and motorists with the necessary information to make
safe driving decisions during the winter months. To
