Pictures: A snowbound zoo, snowball fights, and stunning vistas - the Beast hit Ireland and everything looked amazing

It was a day of singular beauty around the emerald isle.

TODAY MAY ONLY be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the havoc that The Beast from the East will wreak.

But it was a fully-certified snow day. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that Ireland looks pretty fantastic under a carpet of the chilly white stuff.

Today was no exception.

There were stunning landscape shots
