Observations from the first time it snowed in Dublin in YEARS:

1. All snowmen on campus will have breasts and/or a beer bottle in at least one hand.

2. A few centimeters of snow will close down the airport.

3. Every single male on campus will team up and throw terrifying numbers of snowballs at innocent civilians wearing distinctive clothing and accessories (e.g. umbrellas, suits, coloured jackets, hats, scarves, wellies, coffee cups...)

4. Gridlock will occur on all of the roads. It will take an hour and a half for what is normally a seven minute bus ride.

5. The streets and sidewalks will become sheets of ice, and it will take several days for the city to import salt, and by that time all the ice has melted.

6. Bumboarding (= sledding) will take place on 3 foot high "mountains"

7. Classes will be cancelled for the next few days FOLLOWING the snowfall, despite warm temperatures and a distinct lack of snow.

8. All the buildings on campus will shut down several hours early, with the exception of the bar.

9. Students will try to knock cyclists off their bikes with snowballs.

10. Students will open the doors of cars stopped at intersections and throw snow in the faces of drivers.
