Just as we thought winter was over for another year, it's officially spring tomorrow after all, here we are...
It's snowing, freezing and something ominous called the 'Beast from the East' has arrived.
While there are many downsides to a storm of this size hitting Ireland there are some things to be happy about:
Snowball fights, sledding, possible snow days and warm, cosy, filling food.
