The Emerald Isle under a blanket of snow.

The one thing I've learned in my almost 49 years on this Earth is that nothing is trivial. Something as simple as snow is a wonder to most of the world. Once in the last 5 years would almost make it mystical. How many times have you seen it snow in your llife time?

I can only remember seeing it snow and lie for as long as it has maybe four or five times in my lifetime. It's great to see the kids out enjoying the snow and the look on my wee girls face whenever she drew back the curtains, and she seen snow for the first time, was priceless.

The only downside to the snow is that our country must be one of the worst prepared countries in the world when it comes to even a light dusting of snow. Main roads and motorways become treacherous and public transport grinds to a halt. It is a good excuse for a day off work though
