What TYPE of snow do we get in Ireland ?

Big Davey · 2013-10-14 18:17:19

I was thinking of getting a snow blower but a friend told me they don't work on our "type" of snow ? It would be a handy thing to have as I am expecting we will have many hard winters to come..........

Back in 2011, I remember thinking we got two distinct types: "powder" at the coldest times, but clumpy snow during the heaviest falls.

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
