SNOW DAY: Canal icicles, dogs and daffodils
16 readers’ pics, plus a view from TheJournal.ie HQ, on this snowy March day.

MET ÉIREANN’S PREDICTIONS for overnight snowfall were correct and people across the country woke up to a white garden this morning.

Some of you have been sending in your pics from the unusually-late cold snap.

Dogs are confused, daffodils are struggling and drivers are delayed but there is still a certain joy that comes with an unexpected snow day.

Enjoy it wherever you are.

Harry Ford says, “This* is outside letterkenny in Donegal. I couldn’t get the picture to upload so I drew this instead.”
