Meanwhile, Longford parkrun won't take place tomorrow, Saturday, March 3 either, due to #StormEmma
parkrun Director Kevin Kane explained, "Sorry folks, this Saturday's event is cancelled. I along with my brilliant team have come to the decision based on roads leading into Longford being deemed treacherous and impassable and the health and safety of our volunteers and participants. We hope you stay safe and have fun in the snow. Hopefully we'll be back up and running on Saturday, March 10."
The weather has resulted in a sporting fixture wipe-out. Longford Town's game versus Finn Harps has been postponed as have all games in the Longford & District Schoolboy/Girl Soccer League.
In GAA, Longford's Allianz League fixtures in gaelic football and hurling have been snowed off, as have a planned GAA trip to Croke Park on Saturday, March 3 and the Leinster Scór semi-finals scheduled for Sunday, March 4 in The Downs, Mullingar.
All weekend rugby fixtures have also been postponed.
