Heavy falls of snow, cancelled buses and trains, blocked roads, closed businesses and schools, risk of floods, and lots of snow. Shankill was no different from the rest of the places in Ireland that were under red alert this winter between 28 February and 3 March 2018.
However, Storm Emma aka "The Beast from the East", also brought winter cheer in a country which hasn't seen heavy snow in about 8 years.
On 3 March, in the morning, lots of local shops opened again and people could go and buy bread and milk if there was any left. Some local shops looked like this.
Towards the end of the day on 3 March a few deliveries of bread and milk arrived to some local stores.
The village is coming back to life and lots of people are now cleaning their footpaths, cars and gardens. The local spirit is the one that wins in the end.
