While it proved a headache for some, others have been making the most of it - including 86-year-old great-grandmother Eileen Maguire.
She just couldn't turn down the opportunity to have a go at some sledging on Sweeney's Hill in Rathpeacon, County Cork.
"I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for my grandson Jack," she said.
"I knew he'd be behind me and that I was safe.
"I watched them all having a great time and thought I'd give it a go - it was just spur of the moment.
"It was scary to start with but it got easier as we went along."
Eileen is no stranger to sports, regularly picking up the tennis racket or putting on her swimming costume.
"I play tennis a couple of days a week and I also go swimming - I just can't stay in".
"I've got nine grandchildren and one great grandchild - and they all turn up".
