  • i was 12 at the time in rowlagh clondalkin. my ma has just brought my brother home from hospital...we had no gloves, hats or scarves, put socks on hands, me ma would put the grill (cooker)on, so we wouldn't get frost bite......

  • For those northeast Americans who measure their snowstorms in feet rather than inches, we Irish normally think 6 inches of snow is pretty bad for us. This event was certainly more than that- probably a foot of level snow fell, drifts were several feet high and as much as 20 feet up in the mountains around Dublin. We have not seen a snow event like that since.Great footage, nearly 30 years old wow, I feel old now!
