Snow turns the Comeraghs above Clonmel into a winter wonderland

The forecasters got it right and snow fell across much of the country today.

While the north-west and west may have got most of the winter weather, Tipperary also got its white covering, if on a smaller scale.

Certainly in the higher areas arounds Clonmel it turned into a winter wonderland on Thursday afternoon, especially in the Comeraghs.

These photographs by John D Kelly gave an indication of  how glorious our countryside can be in such weather.
