We were promised snow, and many people were not disappointed.
A number of weather alerts were issued by Met Éireann on Wednesday for snow, ice and cold temperatures.
Many of us woke to a light (or heavy) covering of snow - and people got creative.
Some used the white gold to leave messages of solidarity and hope.

My little Teddy Bear on heavy snowfall in #Carlow. First time I went outside of my home in the snow in 2021.
I placed a face mask to remind ourselves that the year 2021 will be a difficult one with the #pandemic and we can overcome it with health safety precautions. #StaySafe pic.twitter.com/xJL1UebkPo— Jamalida Rafique (@JamalidaIRL) January 7, 2021
Some people got creative with their surroundings.

And for some, it was a totally new experience.

It’s something that touches the child in us all. Waking up to it is magical, but my favourite is to watch it fall. #theviewfrommybedroom #snow #leitrim #ireland #sneachta ❄️🌨☃️ pic.twitter.com/RM51hCbKJY
