It’s a great sight.
It’s safe to say on Monday and Tuesday of this week we all went a bit mad about the weather.
Met Éireann was warning that we’d see the worst snowfall in 40 years, and everyone and their granny decided to stock up on bread (because we’re Ireland, and we have a problem, apparently).
However, even though we knew it was coming, it was utter delight (and to some, a bit of dread), as we opened our curtains and saw a blanket of snow covering the roads and pathways.
Because of this, Twitter is at it’s peak, and it might as well be a playground for Irish people as we craic jokes about the beast… and of course, Brennan’s bread.
Here are some of the best tweets from this morning:
The regret of not going to the shop yesterday is REAL. #BeastFromTheEast

Just went to make toast and mam yelled “NO! That’s the storm bread!!”
Everyone needs to calm down.
