Cold Snap
I'm not sure who came up with this expression for a spell of cold weather, but it's a great turn of phrase in my opinion - The Beast from the East.
This year has been a strange one in Ireland in terms of weather and the fact that no hard frost had arrived after one week of December had passed. Usually we get a hard frost in October or November at the latest. Another sign of global warming? Probably. I'm glad that the cold spell has arrived though as it is important for nature I am told.
Now that the cold snap has landed, it's getting comfortable and doesn't want to mive on at all, which is quite annoying for an avid golfer like myself, as our course will likely be closed all week.
Here are some photos from out the back with the hard frost set in.
Frosty walls
There are usually cattle grazing in this field behind our house, but not today, it was even to cold for them it seems or maybe they're doing a spot of Christmas shopping?
Frosty Sun
Frosty Moon
It's never easy to photograph the moon, so this is as good as I could do from my handheld smart phone.
Sláinte and Peace out.

Absolutely stunning. As we are part of a global Landrover community on Instagram with our account roving_tracks, we are seeing a LOT of snow from Ireland to Germany and everywhere in between. Crazy early for sure! Looks like a white Christmas for you all.
That's cool that you are seeing all those shots from like minded heads from around the world.
That would be pretty sweet and the kids would love it, but not sure if the cold snap will last that long tbh.
It looks pretty heavy in places! I do hope it's a white Chrimbo for you all but understand that can be a pain too getting around.
Ya, it's starting to clear now, lots of rain here today in the West and the snow and frost are all melting away. I don't think it'll be a white Christmas this year, but we'll wait and see.
It's minus 4 here and to go to potentially minus 7! My boiler is chuntering away like nobody's business!
Whatever we get here, ye seem to get it worse in Scotland when it comes to snow and ice. Minus 8 is about as bad as I've ever seen it here. What have you seen there, probably minus 10 and worse.
Crazy how in my side the sun is blasting away😂😂😂
Ha ha, ya polar opposite... see what I did there 😁
I did 😂😂
Wow this is so beautiful and thanks for sharing it.
