Whether it’s a single snowflake or a huge blanket of white, Christmas snow in Dublin doesn’t occur all that often. Since records began in 1941, there have only been 13 Christmases with snowfall recorded at Dublin Airport.
If you’re curious, those years were 1950, 1956, 1962, 1964, 1970, 1984, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2010. So there hasn’t been as much as a flurry in 20 years. Could that mean we’re due one, or is it getting increasingly unlikely?
