The first snow of winter

It's that time of year with sneachta, aka snow, falling all around the country. Ireland rarely gets a white Christmas but that powdery white stuff gets us all excited.

The hashtag sneachta was trending on Twitter last night as winter wonderland scenes popped up everywhere.

There was a yellow warning of ice and snow issued last night. Dublin won't see much of it with the southwest, west and north affected the most.

It'll be a cool morning for the whole country, according to Met Eireann. But those in Connacht and Ulster in particular, as well as a little further inland, should beware of heavy snow showers and ice.

So we need to be cautious and keep our wits about us. But also, look how pretty!

Sligo, Roscommon, Cork, and Mayo seem to have gotten the brunt of it.
