Sneachta means snow.

It has been snowing heavily in Dublin. Very heavily. There is a lot of sneachta. It's very unusual, and very amazing. A combination of Storm Emma and the Beast from the East. It started last night, continued today, and there's much more to come.

Last night on the Grand Canal in Portobello:

Powdery snow was building up back home:

It snowed much more today. Took a short video when I got caught in a heavy flurry on Stephen's Green:

Sadly Iveagh Gardens were closed:

Luas was still running:

There were some unfamiliar sights, like this surprised lion:

And some familiar ones, like this street art from ADW:

With some great views over Stephen's Green, looking like a scene from 80 years ago:
