Since it is so rare to see snow in the town, here are a few more pictures, if you’ve any snowy scene snaps , do feel free to mail them in (pics@portaferrytown.com) and we’ll put them online.

Not normally known as a snowbound town, Portaferry was seriously “snowed under” on Thursday afternoon. The main road was closed for a time and many people faced a long wait as they returned home from work, some even had to leave their cars and walk ! It was a really odd day weatherwise as lightning flashes crashed across the lough well into the night and the normally mild temp sat at -1 for most of the day.
