Brrr….
The people of Galway were certainly feeling the cold and rain this weekend after parts of the city, particularly around Salthill, flooded on Monday evening.
A wind warning had been issued by Met Éireann earlier in the day for high winds and rain and a number of people took to Twitter to share pictures and videos of the weather.
