Took these Sun Jan 10th at Ballyronan Marina. Massive area of the Lough has froze over, people walking on it and around the boats. It was a rare experience.

Many thanks for uploading those vids Martin , and lol to those idiots on the ice , some of the smaller lakes down here are also ice'd over so it just shows the extent of the freeze .

Amazing video's Martin such an extremely rare sight to to see in Ireland, Very well documented i'll watch these again

[Martinastro]

Thanks very much guys for the feedback, glad you liked those vids. I'm really going to miss this cold spell when it goes, I just hope we can get a block again after the thaw and get more of the same!

Very good Martin. At a guess Id say from first vid that ice extended a good 100m from the edge. Would that be so? or did it vary thru inlets or depend on prevailing wind direction?

[Martinastro]

It was much further than that, although you are rite about the first vid, on the 2nd I was at a different part of the lough and the area covered by ice was huge, easily 3X times the above figure, maybe even 4 in places, it varied as you said. Here's a 200mm zoom shot looking across the Lough into the distance, all that water is ice lol..I'm still amazed.
