Right, I know this is stating the obvious, but I can’t help but exclaiming, “SWEET MOTHER MOLASSES it is REALLY snowy out there!”  To be honest, after living through 9 Chicago Winters I’ve always had a somewhat snooty attitude towards Irish snow.  I’d watch people get excited and think, “Oh yeah, this is nothing!  You haven’t a clue!”  There is no snoot about me today though!  This is the first time I remember there being proper, hardcore snowfall in Ireland and it’s pretty cool.  Not for people who have to actually get places and achieve things beyond their house, but for anyone who can use it as an excuse to stay home.  Enjoy it if you can!
