People Woke Up To Snow This Morning And No One Knows What’s Going On

Winter wonderland (in SPRING). Snow fell in parts of the country overnight and many people commuting to work this morning have expressed surprise and confusion at the fact that it's snowing heavily in the first week of March. Dublin was one of the areas worst affected but Cork, Kildare and Wicklow are also experiencing freezing conditions and understandably, people are freaking out about the amount of time it's going to take to get to work this morning. Twitter is literally hopping with snow pictures and they're great even if we're all a bit confused at the winter weather in March.

YAY!! Snow at last! ❄️☃

... In March. When I have an hour long commute ahead. Can't win 'em all!

Who ordered the snow??? Dublin, Sligo, Malin Head, Belfast and Back to Dubs may be a struggle today I think. pic.twitter.com/brhZe9xfbI
