Ireland braces for snow, sleet and gales as Met Eireann issues weather warning

As February settled over the island of Ireland, the natural world reasserted its authority with wind, ice, and the particular cold that makes stone walls and sea coasts feel ancient again. Met Éireann's forecast for Sunday, February 6th carried the weight of a genuine winter warning — not catastrophic, but demanding respect — with Donegal standing at the edge of gales strong enough to push the sea over its own boundaries. These are the moments that remind a people shaped by Atlantic weather that the land and sky still set the terms.
