My birthday is at the end of October, around 12 years ago the Dublin Mountains was covered in Snow on my Birthday.. The way I look at it, from October to March you can get any weather in this Country.. In other Countries you can set your watch to a certain type of weather you’ll get but in Ireland anything can happen as we don’t get the four seasons like other Countries do..
Ahh the climate change heat .. !! Oh wait what …
@james r: you don’t understand climate change, do you? Or the difference between climate and weather?
@Conoroconnor: brilliant haha
@Conoroconnor: Brain box the climate is not changing either and the weather is normal for Ireland. Climate change is like the program on RTE tonight about the moving statues of 1985 when mass hysteria convinced the masses and the naive.
After last night’s snow. This mornings lovely crisp windless autumn cycle to work was a welcome surprise.

@Rosie: and the thing is have three comments removed and you’re barred, Journal policy.

@L-jane: and a Grey one at that!
@Mark Fields: it was a Grey country… Not a Grey carpet…
Dark and dreary here in Dublin for the last month.. Terrible weather..
@Tim McCormack29: Could be worse . We could be in danger of forest fires, hurricanes , typhoons , large quantities of ice and snow etc . At least in Ireland we more or less know what to expect
