Snow in March?! It’s freezing out (literally) and no-one can cope

If you've managed to make it to work/college this morning without have a total meltdown, pat yourself on the back.

Commuters in Ulster and Leinster were given QUITE the treat this morning, with snow, sleet and ice blanketing a large chunk of the country.

While much of the 'snow' turned to mush and slush, certain more sheltered areas saw heavy snowfall. All in all, it was a total disaster, especially for anyone trying to get to work on time.

Buses, trains and LUASes turned into warm, overpacked tin cans:

Not to be dramatic but this mornings commute, so far, has been my Revenant.

But anyone with a car really had to suffer:

A few brave souls even risked getting frostbite to stop and take a picture:

Apocalyptic scenes out in Sandyford. It's practically balmy in the city centre compared to this. pic.twitter.com/T9neBy9JNu

And of course there were a few ice-related accidents too.
