Dublin under snow.
From the air.

This day four years ago snow started falling around Ireland and heralded the coldest November period on record. As temperatures struggled to rise above 0 degrees the Air Corps where called upon several times, using our aerial advantage to support those in need. Now as December approaches and the temperature drops another few degrees the different Squadrons around the Air Corps are refreshing themselves on their Cold Weather Operation Procedures. Our Photographic Section used some of these great photographs in our Winter Operations Brief to remind us what we could expect, we thought you may appreciate the reminder too….
From top: Croke Park; The Magazine Fort (Phoenix Park); Papal Cross (Phoenix Park); Guinness factory; Stephen’s Green and The Spire.
Tis croker not Aviva Stadium in the top pic – just an FYI, or did I fall for the bate?
Sorry TiggeeDee, fixed now. Thank you.
Why is there no snow on the field in that pic?

Thanks William, fixed now. Sorry.

I hope the Air Corps don’t have an emergency at the New Landsowne Road
Just look for the bedpan
I never knew the magazine fort was so swastikay.
That’s some imagination, treasure it ! :)
That was a wonderful winter. I’d love more snow.
Awww, a tad homesick for a wintery day about Dublin now! Fab pics. I hope we get a white Christmas again this year (after I’ve safely and punctiliously arrived in Dublin Airport…)
Snow Snow Snow
Ho Ho Ho
Where’s the snow Johnny Moynes promised
Ah, this pleases me.
Great times.
Winter’s boring without it.
Tis true. What’s more seasonal than a dead frozen homeless person with a light dusting of snow!
What’s rare is beautiful.
A winter I will never forget. My mother had just died suddenly and my father decided to go off traveling internationally for a week. Spent hours driving slowly to Dublin airport in the snow to pick him up, only for his flight to be redirected to Belfast. Sigh…
