‘Let it snow, let it snow’: Watch as Kerry climbers tackle a snowy Carrauntoohil

“With the wind picking up and forecast for it to get quite strong this afternoon we will now make our descent,”

Typical Ireland - last week temperatures across the country reached a sunny 13 degrees and today, a mere three days later, Met Eireann issues a status yellow warning.

The frost and ice warning is in place for Connacht, Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Longford and Louth until this afternoon but a video posted by KerryClimbing.ie shows the Kingdom under a blanket of snow.
