What an extraordinary few days we have had - the first ever 'snow days' for most of us!

The 'Beast From The East' and 'Storm Emma' brought a Red Weather Warning across Ireland on March 1 and 2.

The schools were closed, and many businesses shut down on Thursday afternoon, not to re-open again until Saturday or even Monday. There were shortages of bread and milk, frenzied buying, and lots of snowmen of course!

We took the car out on Friday, March 2, to see what all the fuss was about!

And, there were some great Tweets... 

And some beautiful pictures of Bearna Beo in the Snow (and entries to the snowman competition*)...
