THERE are beautiful scenes in the west of Ireland today as the first snow of the season has fallen.
In a video captured by Mid West Radio, a blanket of snow can be seen on the Sligo-Mayo border which fell over night, as well as stunning photographs

The snow comes as Irish weather authority Met Éireann issued a status yellow warning for snow and ice across the country expecting scattered snow showers across the country becoming mainly confined to western and northern parts into the weekend.
