Do you mean snow falling from the sky or snow sticking to the ground? According to the Climate of Ireland, Dublin Airport has a mean number of 0.4 days in December and 1.5 days in January, when snow was reported on the ground at the 9am obs. I think that's the bookie's criteria. But they're 1951-1980 figures.

So, say 1.9 days out of 60, your odds are about .032, or around 30 to 1. Of course, with climate change and the reduced number of frost occurrences, they might be greater.
