With Three Days to May, Snow Blankets Ireland's Knock Airport

With just three days to go until May, the traditional start of summer in Ireland, hail, rain, and low temperatures were making people across the country wonder if warmer weather would ever arrive.

The social media team at Ireland West Airport, in Knock, Mayo, did little to raise hopes when it shared footage on Thursday, April 28, showing snow blanketing the area. “If you were having second thoughts about that sun holiday time to think again – this is the airport right now,” they tweeted. Despite the adverse weather, the airport remained fully operational, and within an hour of the snow storm, the skies were clear. “Two seasons in one hour!” the airport told Storyful.
