We haven't had a white Christmas for many years. Snow here doesn't usually last too long - around the coast, it can be melted overnight. Inland, it could last a few days. Last snow was in March this year, and we had a brief flurry a couple of weeks back, when nobody expected it.

Best time to visit is end of April/early May. For some reason we get weeks of fine weather then. Days are longest in July and August, daylight up to 10 pm, and usually pleasantly warm too, but the rain is unpredictable.

At Christmas it is dark early, by 4 pm, and there is a lot to be said in favour of 4 walls and a roof and a nice open fire. The Christmas spirit is alive and well, though. Plenty of excitement for the younger folk.

At the most bizarre of times. Just a couple of weeks ago it snowed. It was sunny, rainy, sunny, rainy then all of a sudden SNOW! Usually it's raining or really cold and dry around Christmas. My birthdays just a week or two after Christmas and the only time it snowed then was when I was like 6.

It snows about two inches for two days in the Spring bizarrely and that's about it. At Christmas it's got all decorations in shop windows gets dark at 4:00 and is quite nippy

rarely. Although there was snow in the Wicklow hills last month.
I think it snowed once on Christmas day, well that I can remember. And even then it was gone by St Stephens day.

In Ireland, it does not snow ever.
Ireland works on a completely different weather system to the rest of the world because of global warming. (surely you've heard about it on the news?)
Above ireland a mini black hole has formed that sucks in any cloud that passes by, thus creating a constant dark atmosphere. Occasionally, there is sun when the black hole regenerates, but it only lasts for around 10 minutes, and that's the maximum.
