WE HAVE SNOW people. We. Have. Snow.
Love it or hate it many different parts of the country saw some heavy snowfall today.
So much snow in fact that loads of you have sent us pictures of several different counties being blanketed in the white stuff.
It’s even sticking in places. Seriously, take a look.

That magnumlady pic is immense.
Gleniffe Horseshoe, Co. Sligo at its finest!
Love magnumlady’s blog. Great pictures of Sligo
Forget about the snow! When is our heatwave starting?
2:45pm on the 14th of July. Due to end later that day
Fab pic by Magnumlady and the “hearts in tracks ” pretty cool too but why the upside down one ??
18 years ago on the 8th of February (1996) I crossed over from larne to Stranraer. I passed through Dumfries and Galloway the snow was 5 feet deep covering all cars, the roads were mostly passible as they were regularly plowed. Though we were warned leaving the ferry that roads were impassible and we should stay the night locally. We went anyway. Some snow drifts were 7 feet deep and the snow was half way up the 2 storey houses.
It was an amazing sight.
@Lily, worked in Scotland for 6 months and enjoyed the snow driving experience :-) but the most snow I ever saw was up the top end of Japan in Muroran and Nemuro were they cut canyons through the 20 feet of snow and life just went on almost as normal. We had a bit of fun when we got stuck for a few hours in ice in the Sea of Okhotsk but the real danger was touching ships rails with bare hands, instant freezer burn that would literally skin you. Magic place.
@magnumlady what a fantastic picture, submit more….
so we can now look forward to the country grinding to a halt and complaints about councils not out gritting roads etc etc etc ….yup the usual reaction to a light flurry of snow flakes
Magnum lady posts amazing photos on her Instagram account, well worth following
That pic by magnumlady is of the old RIC barracks in gleniff horseshoe in co sligo. Looks a very familiar pic…. ahem
Tomorrow is to bring extreme weather to the south of the country lots of rain and wind.
The fourth photograph is a lovely shot of the Famine Graveyard in Manorhamilton, right beside the hospital which was built on a former workhouse and a building which was a cholera hospital.
If it keeps up ireland will be in the running to host 2018 winter Olympics
“we still had to work” he says…you copy and paste articles from buzzfeed. Not exactly rocket science.
Yuppi!!! :)
Just to pick holes and a major pet peeve, but could ya not bloody orientate the photos, one is even upside down. Barely excusable on facebook etc. but come on
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ I loves the snow it tickles my big willy
Maybe you shouldn’t have it out then
Time for a drive up to Sally Gap.
yeah, so will you stop calling February Spring then! February is not Spring!!
Such an amazing photo from Magnumlady.
Surprised the roads weren’t closed considering the amount of snow!

This weather is only the start of whats to come. We’ve reaped what we sowed..
All those carbon taxes will sort it out ya’know… another 5c on the diesel will sure calm the weather down… tree hugger mantra.
As they found with carbon taxes in Oz. National greenhouse accounts to be released today show carbon emissions fell just 0.3 per cent in the year to September 2013. This was despite the carbon tax raising $7 billion over the period. “$1,350 from your house for the year to Sept 2013, produced an emissions fall from 543.9 million tons all the way down to 542.1 .” Pure unadulterated lunacy.
I think 8 is upside-down?
No 9, big pile of elephant dung in Dublin Zoo !!
have your say
