He couldn't have sounded more amazed if he had seen leprechauns leaving a pot o' gold on his doorstep.

1. snow was general all over Ireland

" Yes, the news­pa­pers were right: snow was gen­eral all over Ire­land. It was falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, fur­ther west­wards, softly falling into the dark muti­nous Shan­non waves. It was falling too upon every part of the lonely church­yard where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and head­stones, on the spears of the lit­tle gate, on the bar­ren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the uni­verse and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the liv­ing and the dead."

4. My wife dislikes profanity. However, everytime she hears an Irishman say the F-word... She giggles.

13. It depends on the region of Ireland.

In Galway, the locals say it just like I would.

Up in the north, like Belfast, it's more like you explained it.

Now in the center and southwest Ireland, it's more of a "Fak" sound. We were in a pub (The Marina Inn) in Dingle. Every time the dishwasher ran, the music would cut out, the bartender would have to come over and reset the breaker. After about the 5th time it happened, he was just walking away from resetting it, and it cut out again. He exclaimed "Oh fur fak saeks!", and my wife could not stop laughing. Not at this poor man's dilemma, but simply how he sounded. She said that it does not sound like profanity with an Irish accent, that it's adorable.

6. It could be worse - The Great Storm Strikes Ireland – January 6, 1839

Snow fell across Ireland on Saturday, January 5, 1839. Sunday morning dawned with cloud cover that amounted to a typical Irish sky in winter. The day was warmer than usual, and the snow from the night before began to melt.

By midday it began to rain heavily, and the precipitation coming in off the north Atlantic slowly spread eastward. By early evening heavy winds began to howl. And then on Sunday night an unforgettable fury was unleashed.

Hurricane force winds began to batter the west and north of Ireland, as a freak storm roared out of the Atlantic. For most of the night, until just before dawn, the winds mauled the countryside, uprooting large trees, tearing the thatched roofs off houses, and toppling barns and church spires. There were even reports that grass was torn off hillsides.


“There was something awful in the dark stillness of that winter day, for there was no sunlight coming through the thick, motionless clouds that hung over the earth”.

7. weird, it snowed several times in Ireland

when we lived there in the early 2000s. It was unusual, but not earth shattering! Maybe the dude had an early morning visit to the bong...

And the Irish use the F word all the time, you get used to it...!

10. It fooking snowed during my first-ever visit 40+ years ago.

Not what I had expected, though it was early December.
