PICS: It’s officially snowing in Ireland

Snow lovers will be delighted.

If you’re one of the many, many people that absolutely hate the snow then you’ll take comfort in knowing that there’s some brilliant sport on TV this weekend including Man Utd v Arsenal, Ireland v New Zealand and Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid.

If you happen to absolutely love the snow, we’ve got some great news for you.

It’s time to warp up because weather conditions are expected to drop to a chilly -1C on Friday night and the snow has already started to fall in various parts of the country.

Those living in the Midlands might not have to wait until tomorrow to chuck a snowball at their mates because it’s officially snowing in the region.

There has also been some footage of snow in other parts of the country, although it doesn’t appear to be sticking at the minute.

Let it snow!
