> The Times of Jan 18 1917 (p.5) reports "a heavy fall of snow in Dublin
> during the 48 hours to yesterday evening, and traffic, especially in
the
> suburbs of the city, was carried on with difficulty. The weather is
very
> cold, with a low barometer. Reports show that the snowfall has been
> general over the greater part of Ireland, and in some districts the
> snowstorm was the most severe experienced for a number of years."
> 
> The Times of Jan 25 1917 (p.12) carries a report on Rainfall for 1916,
> returns for the British Isles.  The stats for many places in Ireland
are

> greatest excess, more than 30  per cent., stretched inland from Dublin
> Bay."
