Snowy Valentines day???

We woke up on Friday also known as Valentines day with it snowing in Ireland....

 

This is my roommates reaction when he noticed it was snowing.  We were all a little bitter about the whole thing but being away from the dreary weather in Minnesota kind of makes you miss the first snow fall of the year.  I'll admit the light, fresh snow did look good on ground and the best part was that it was above 0 degrees and it was gone the next day when we woke up.

By midday there was a little accumulation on the ground and almost all 20 of us decided to have a snowball fight.  It was perfect snowball weather and it was not very cold.  After we got bored of chucking snowballs at each other, we decided to play a little Irish sport called rugby in the yard.  The yard was one giant puddle and was super slippery but that just made it that much more fun.  It did get a little cold when you were tackled into a puddle but you got up laughing and shook it off.  It was a great time.  When we were playing many locals drove by and slowed down and gave us the weirdest looks.  Some of them even yelled "YOU'RE CRAZY!!"  We showed the whole town what us Minnesotan's are all about.  We made the best of the snow but we hope that it was the last time we see the snow over here.
