Students Build Ireland's Tallest Snowman

In Co Limerick, a group of friends constructed 'Big Bill', Ireland's tallest snowman at 23 feet, during a heavy snowfall that left many without power. The snowman took five and a half hours to build, using coal for eyes and a traffic cone for a nose, though its head fell off later that night. Meanwhile, in North Cork, teenagers Seán O'Sullivan, Aidan Buckley, and Colin O'Leary built a six-meter-long igloo in the O'Leary's garden after being snowed in without electricity. They spent five hours creating the igloo, complete with improvised furniture and lighting, even sleeping inside it. Additionally, a group of children in Newtownshandrum built a 12-foot snowman, claiming it as the largest in their area, showcasing their teamwork and local pride. This week, Ireland faces sub-zero temperatures and ongoing snow-related disruptions, with thousands still without power and water.
