We have snow in Dublin!! I have never lived in the snow before, so this is extremely exciting for me! It is for everyone else here too, as it rarely snows in Dublin. This year it is actually referred to as "The Big Freeze" in Ireland because it has not snowed this much in over 60 years! Some days the buses are actually cancelled and traffic is crazy... we have come to the conclusion that the snow really isn't that bad, just the Irish aren't used to it and go into panic mode. It's rare to walk across campus without finding yourself in the middle of a snowball fight and we've found a little bit of time here and there to enjoy it.
Here is a picture outside my bedroom window capturing the beginning of a snowball fight:
and here is the same picture, but with snow heavily falling:
One of the best things is that two deadlines of some essays that I have been frantically trying to write have been extended due to the weather, library being closed and people unable to leave their homes (once again it really isn't that bad). Actually, a lot of the snow has melted in the last few days.
