Weather hits Hillside traffic

This afternoon's heavy fall of snow has caused some difficulties for vehicles driving up and down the hill at Hillside, a traditional problem area during freezing weather. A number of local people, including Dominic Gibson, and Jim Delaney from Bishop Rogan Park, and Dave O'Malley from Hillcrest, helped to keep things moving.

"They worked for several hours, helping out," says Pat Foley of 'The Bridge', who took these photos. "If it wasn't for them, traffic would have been blocked all the way down the town."

Temperatures have now plunged below freezing and the hills are likely to be even more dangerous and difficult.
