So it happened.
Last week, there were grim predictions that despite the glorious sunny weather, a cold snap was on the way - bringing with it
.Many of us dismissed it - it's almost May after all. But today, people have been tweeting and sharing photos from around the country that prove snow was indeed falling.
So is that the summer over now? Is it winter again?
Snow and hail really coming down now and not just on high ground! #Leitrim ❄️❄️⛄️
