It still hasn't melted fully, either. Last time I remember 5 inches in Dublin was in the 80s, I think. @Leanne: Without getting too specific, yes, it’s the Grand Canal.

We are getting about 5 inches right now, which isn't unusual; the kids love that it means there might not be school. It's nice to hear from someone who really enjoys that it is snowing.

Just checked in to your site and was sharing in your happy thoughts about snow over Christmas - we too danced about in in on New Year's eve - and our garden is so small and sheltered that there is still plenty that has not melted yet. I was just wondering about the swams - which canal are you near to? We are right near the Royal Canal... I am guessing that this is the Grand Canal - it looks a lot cleaner... but you don't have Brendan Behan! Leanne Hi Léan

Happy New Year to you!
