In Pictures: Some much needed fun as first snowfall of 2021 hits Laois

We put the shout out, and as usual, you did not disappoint.

While the snow didn’t arrive over Christmas, most of us woke up to a fair dusting over it this morning.

The first snowfall of 2021 was predicted by Met Eireann – but it was nonetheless greeted with delight by the majority of people it seems.

After the tough times we’ve all endured lately, a bit of snow and the joy that it brings certainly seems like it was needed.

With the children off school due to the Covid-19 surge, the snow provided a great distraction for them too.

We asked our followers to send us in some of their best pictures and we were inundated with snaps from all over the country.

Our Facebook and Instagram message inboxes are jammed but we did our best to pull out as many of your pictures as we could.

We had adults, children, snowmen and snowwomen – with plenty of animals too.

With temperatures set to remain very low over the coming days, we could see further snow flurries.

While much of it has now melted away, we’re sure some of the creations will hang around for a couple of days at least.
