If you look at June 1976's statistics on that site, you will know that their not accurate going by your knowledge of that month.
Plus here's the synoptic for 19 June 1975, definitely not snow that's for sure.

No mention of snow in the June 1975 'Agromet' bulletin:

May not have in Ireland, with the exception of mountains obviously, but in the UK it definitely did in this unseasonable northerly air stream on 2 June 1975. That picture I posted was taken on this day in Buxton when the snow stopped the cricket match from taking place.

UK Met Office hand drawn chart for the evening of June 1 1975.
Certainly a marked cold front feature bearing down.New Moon

It could easily have been that oneUK Met Office hand drawn chart for the evening of June 1 1975.
Certainly a marked cold front feature bearing down.
(It may have been May,I’m thinking it was June,it was certainly in the 70’s but that chart sounds like it)
I’d be surprised if there’s no record of it somewhere,though it was a 12 hr wonder ie happened in Dublin at 6 and gone in the morning
Some people’s brains are a bit old now to be pin pointing exact weeks or dates
I do remember the summer of 75 being warm and sunny and obviously the drought of 76
The most notable thing about that from a farming perspective was the drought and no grass
We were feeding molasses on straw and muggins opened the molasses barrel without releasing the pressure first
I was covered in it (it exploded out)
Literally tarred and feathered
I don’t remember the war 0 -

another thing I seem to remember from that day is that the snow shower did seem like a freak occurrence, there was no mention of snow or anything wintry in the forecast for that morning, however the morning was unusually cold! But it will always stick in my mind as a 10 minute bizarre situation!. I also remember the May snow showers mentioned a few posts back.
Would that night be the 10th into the 11th when Kilkenny got down to 1.0c? Though this synoptic does not show anything that cool mmmmm.

could have been that night, it was certainly early June before the summer holidays, I was only 12 years old so not entirely sure of the exact date.0 -
