I hope my friends palm tree is OK in Dublin. Seriously, he has one in his back yard.
Haekk
I hope nobody tried to drive down that steep street in front of the colorful houses. it's slippy af even when its wet...

Oh my goodness! Ireland, your little rainbow houses are just the best.
AntiCircleJerker
Kinda beautiful.

Yeah nice view

Great pic.. I miss Cobh. Lived there when I served in the Navy. Great little town.
johnny1ball
We must have very different memories of that place
SmokeyQuartz
Why's that? What's not to like about it? I never lived there, I'm just curious.

Visited cobh a while back. Wonderful city. People were a little corny though

Fun fact, It's pronounced Cove
buzzbo
Yes, I didn't even think about it looking like cob. The corny joke went right over my head.

It's a small town, and as pretty as it can be sometimes, it's a shithole. Funfact:last place the Titanic stoppe before it's fated voyage

Considering how far north they are, I'm surprised to hear that they rarely get snow

It's the moderating influence of the sea: keeps the winters milder and the summers cooler. So they told me in geography class anyway!

A lot of that is due to its maritime location. The ocean acts as a regulator.

Good old north Atlantic current keeps the place warm with waters coming from the equator. Some parts of Ireland are on the same latitude 1/2
dirtmonkey995
As parts of Canada which regularly get icebergs 2/2
lordmallard
*relatively warm.
dirtmonkey995
And relatively cool as well! Good ol' temperate climate

How come I'm not finding northerners crying "you call that snow? I ride my bike in that! Bleh". I'm not saying it's warranted, it kind of >
TheOnePristineMonk
MN here, mostly because it gets old after a while. Plus I already gave my English friends a good ribbing
DahPrincess
-is, but for the most part it's expected. I mean some of us got 2-3ft recently and everything(except Christian schools) was open like normal
MetaSomma
Pretty sure the post isn't trying to make any claims about how hard life is, it's just a neat picture

Luxury!

When you live in an area that gets snow often and bad. That is used to snow and equipped for it /1
VargFallon
Then, yeah, the weather in the UK seems mild and reactions seem overstated. But remember; YOU live in an area that's used to snow, WE don't

Imagine if when Australia suffers from extreme heat waves a bunch of Martians sent communication calling them wimps.

There are countless other reasons. Buildings not built for cold. Electricity substations failing in the cold. Etc etc.
theresamooselooseabootthishoose
If you want it, cough up for it. I hardly think there is public support for higher costs for the 6 days a year it snows
Hyippy
Not even six days a year in ireland. Maybe one. And usually about an inch so we throw down some grit. This is a once in a generation case
theresamooselooseabootthishoose
It's more common here, but still rare enough to not be worth the cash
