It snowed this morning
It snowed for the first time this winter in Blarney. It was raining so, at least around here, the snow didn’t settle on the roads. All the snow is gone by this stage, but it’s cold out. Hopefully, the wet ground doesn’t freeze. Raw and Edit
Snow on the road
It’s turned cold in Ireland, and we’re expecting snow overnight, but Met Éireann says there’s a 20-45% chance of snow, so it might just be another cold day tomorrow. Hopefully, it doesn’t rain and freeze. Don’t be fooled, this image is from January 2021.
Breathtaking Border Mountains in Germany
Here’s another photo from my recent team meetup in Germany, where we got to see these incredible mountains that span the border of Germany and Austria. We were up pretty high too, around 1500m at Bergstation Herzogstandbahn, which made for a wonderful view. Of course, the weather wasn’t exactly on our side – those ominous…
Exhausted on Snowy Slopes

Prepping the Wing
One of the days during a team meetup in Germany recently was spent hiking across a mountain, up and down steep snow-covered hills. On the way, we passed by what is evidentially the launch site for people paragliding. They would fling themselves off this slope and soar for I don’t know how long, catching thermals…
Oscar in the snow
Twelve years ago today, it had snowed heavily in Blarney. I took Oscar out for a walk that morning and brought my camera along because of the snow! I don’t think he really minded the cold, but he was always happy to get home, snow or not!
Snow and Rain in Wilton
The view from my car on a wet, snowy morning outside Wilton Shopping Centre a few days ago. The snow didn’t settle thankfully but it was cold!
Heavy Clouds Over Blarney Castle House
It’s snowing again but it’s only a light dusting. It’s cold enough that the snow will sit on the ground all day but unless you grab snow from parked cars there won’t be any snow fights! Here’s a photo from 2015, when we had a lot more snow!
A light snow in Blarney
It snowed for about half an hour this morning. Ironically, the country could do with a heavy snow to encourage less travel.
