My sis up there in Dublin says it's been snowing like crazy all week. No big deal elsewhere, but apparently the local authorities are not used to snow. They haven't spread rocksalt and the roads are troublesome. She also says a lot of flights have been cancelled today, and she's afraid because she's supposed to fly to the Canary Islands in a few days.
If I was heading to a neat place where its warm, I'd be cheesed too. Why the Irish are put off by winter weather concitering their latitude I don't get.

Flange, the British Iles and Northern Europe are warmed by the Gulf Stream which bring in warm water from the Caribbean. Without all that warm water they would have weather more like Newfoundland or Greenland. That's also why Western Europe in general has less extremes in temperature than North America or Russia.

| True. Ireland's autumn and winter are milder than Spain's, my sis tells me they rarely get any snow, just rain. |
