17 reasons why Ireland's weather obsession is totally justified
PEOPLE IN IRELAND are totally obsessed with the weather.
This is totally justified. And here’s why.
Today, it realised that spring was here, so it snowed heavily

In fact, it did this in the course of one day
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Sorry, one hour
Sorry, two minutes
So it’s hardly surprising that a whole ecosystem of memes has sprung up around it
That detailed illustrations have been produced, dedicated to its madness
That some of the country’s greatest ever headlines have been dedicated to it
(Speaking of yellow objects, let’s not forget that a ‘yellow snow warning’ is an actual thing.)
Oh, and summer? Sure, let’s talk about summer.
There are entire shop displays dedicated to it.
Cars have been customised to cope with it.
So in a country where this can be the view from two windows of the same house
Where poor Evelyn Cusack has been reduced to going on about moon cycles
Where Martin King is so shook he had to do the weather sitting down
Where this is a typical view out the window
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Where this man is practically a folk hero
It’s hardly surprising that we’re all obsessed by it.
In fact, it’s just lucky that we’re all so good at talking about it.
