Amusing footage has emerged from Ireland of a man struggling to believe that it has snowed in his home town on the first day of Spring.

The video, filmed in Sligo yesterday, shows the snow-covered residential area, while the filmer commentates on what he reckons is a freak weather event.

He even describes the snow as "unreal."

Despite the filmer's shock, snowfall was actually expected in parts of the UK and Ireland, as a Spring blizzard was forecast to hit during the last weeks of March.
