The Absolute Legends Of Storm Emma And The Beast From The East So Far

Although Ireland's health and emergency services have been continuing their heroic work throughout the frosty weather conditions a number of people have become unexpected legends over the last two days:

The Orange Army

These Irish Rail workers, dubbed online as the Orange Army, have been constantly keeping train tracks clear of snow throughout the ferocity of the weather conditions and people on social media have been saluting them for their tireless work. Thankfully they got off work at 2 pm today.

Love @IrishRail hashtag #orangearmy. Such a great service and glad that they will be getting home to their families - safe & sound by 2pm today #BeastFromTheEast pic.twitter.com/y4LLPaRgpJ

The Hero Who Built This Snowman

The President of Ireland got his very own Snowman thanks to an anonymous legend.

Dublin Bus Drivers

Even though Dublin Bus was forced to limit their service their drivers kept everyone in good spirits as they tried to get everyone home safe and sound:

The Aid Workers

It's thanks to people like this that the homeless and elderly are looked after:

The Delivery Drivers

You'd have to be living under a rock if you haven't seen the Bread Gate that's been sweeping the nation. Thanks to these delivery drivers everyone who needed a loaf of bread can wake up to toast and tea tomorrow morning:

Ireland's Youth

Although Ireland's youth get a lot of stick in the media its young people like these that remind us it's not all bad:

Those Lads in A Bath

It's not every day you see lads using a bathtub to slide down a hill:

- They were HURTLING themselves down the hill Joe.
> Gwan..
- In a bleedin bathtub Joe..
> Wha!
- Thats right Joe, without a care for their own safety or the safety of others…
> Merciful-hour…and where were the parents caller?
- Nowhere to be seen Joe.

The Weather Presenters

Who else would fancy standing outside in the cold to give us the low down on what's happening beyond our kitchen windows:

I’m fairness how great are @MetEireann and classy Irish weather presenters like @AudreyMcGrath & @nualacarey25 #WeReallyAreVeryLuckyToHaveThem

Christmas FM

The festive station came back for one day and one day only and by God were we delighted:

Mum's got @christmasfm on and has now decided we're having an ad hoc Christmas dinner, crackers and all #stormemma #beastfromtheast pic.twitter.com/66xD6ovggL

Honest to god the fact Christmas FM is back because it’s snowing is probably the most Irish thing to happen over these past few days - if Ireland says it’s Christmas then it’s fecking Christmas hahaha
