Snow in Galway

Supposedly it rarely, if ever, snows in Galway. But we got to see a little white blanket on the ground before sunrise on January 4. I called Damon at work and said, "Why didn't you call me and tell me about the snow?" He replied, "What snow?" It wasn't snowing an hour before when he left for work. The snow was gone by sunrise when the temperature reached above freezing, and the rain continued throughout the day. I took pictures for Damon, so he could see the snow.
