It's all over "The Wire" - Ireland is shut down by snow......

Government advice was to be home and inside by 4pm yesterday due to the arrival of Storm Emma.

Luckily it wasn't as bad as expected but we did lose power in the middle of the night but we slept through that!

In certain parts of Ireland it snowed quite heavily with lots of drifts in areas. We didn't experience anything too bad here in Ranelagh and today we went out for a walk to see if anything was open (Gammells was open with a sign on Lidl saying it will open at 4pm).

Today it seems to have snowed since about 11am without stopping. The snow underfoot is thawing however so I don't think this new snow will be sticking around for too long.

The airport cancelled lots of flights and many people in different circumstances were affected including rapper and actor (The Wire) Fredro Starr.
