I was in Ireland when they had a blizzard (aprpoximately 1 1/2 inches on the ground). The entire town of Dublin was in panic. I had to leave a theater performance because cabbies were going home and my hotel was at least 3 miles away...

Sounds like when Tampa was hit with the Blizzard of 1977, when <1” hit the city.

As the banking sector moved many jobs from the NYC area to North Carolina, those employees that could make the move to keep their jobs described how they didn’t have the gear to deal with snow and ice down there. Years ago, my company had branches in Georgia where everything would shut down due to just a layer of ice or snow that stuck to the pavement; people didn’t know how to drive on it, and they had no salt trucks, plows, etc..

I wonder if that is still the case; I believe some places spray seawater now.

The actual notable blizzard was on 01/08/1982, which they still call the “Big Snow”. At least 1½ feet of snow in the Dublin area, with 6-foot snowdrifts.

This pic shows buses stuck on the road between Skerries and Rush in northern Dublin county, about 19 miles from Dublin’s city center.
