Dublin Weather

Where I am from in America the weather is pretty average. It rains in the spring, snows in the winter, and gets moderately hot in the summer. I love this wide range of weather especially the snow. Everyone has been telling me that in Dublin it is rare for it to snow in the winter. The past few days it has been resembling my hometown in the winter for snow, which I love. The difference between Dublin and my hometown in this weather is the way that they treat it. The roads here are miserable and to me it has not even snowed a ridiculous amount. Where I come from this is a normal winter and the roads would be clear. Dublin is simply unprepared for snow and even now after a few days they still have barely done anything to change it. I have not seen a single plow or salt truck on the road and it has been negative degrees with rain, sleet, and snow coming down for awhile. My city would have had salt on the ground before it even began snowing. Snow plows would be running the streets all day making sure that the roads are clear and there is not ice all over the place. The thing I find hard to believe is that my city is not, by any means, known for its snow. So I find it hard to believe that a major city in Europe cannot handle a little bit of ice and snow. Maybe in the next few days they will change my mind, but right now I think the treatment of the weather has been pretty bad.
