OK, so it seems like a long time ago but I have just posted the pictures from when it snowed back in January to a new gallery on the main web site.
Snow at Last
After watching all the snow in the East over the weekend we finally got ours yesterday. We had loads of fun all afternoon with friends and neighbours out the back of the house. The boys had to be dragged in when it was getting dark!
It is all still here today and no more is forecast but this is more snow in Cork than anyone can remember. I know I should probably be out there shooting landscapes but snowmen are way more fun. I did do a few ‘Andy Goldsworthys’ which I’ll put together and post up here soon.
Meanwhile, take care out there and have fun.
February Snow
It came at dusk and was already fading fast by dawn: our first real snowfall of the year.
Driving home from Bishopstown late in the afternoon it suddenly started to get dark, the sky went grey and a flurry of snow blew in, the snow clouds momentarily blocking out the sun. Real big snowflakes this time, not just the thin powdery sleet we’d had earlier on.
Another bit at dusk and there was enough for the kids to muster a tiny snowball or two.
Then overnight enough to blot out the grass in places.
By school run the car had been scraped for snowballs by the kids off the bus, still just enough around though for our our girls to throw a few at their mother. By ten o’clock it was gone from the ground.
But now its snowing again! Maybe we might even get a small snowman later!
