Photos: Snow for St. Patrick’s Day, even at the end of March

It was almost 20 degrees warmer in Ireland today than it was on the North Fork, but what’s a little wet snow and cold air when you’re in the mood for a good old fashioned St. Patrick’s Day celebration, anyway? Today’s wintry weather didn’t dissuade a few hundred people from turning out for the Second Annual Jamesport St. Patrick’s Day Parade this afternoon.

Grand Marshal Allen Smith led the parade, sponsored by the East End Emerald Society. It featured the Eastern Long Island Pipes and Drums and a display of personnel and firefighting equipment from a half-dozen area departments, including Cutchogue, Mattituck, Southold, Jamesport, Riverhead, and Westhampton.
