Two photos featured the snow that fell over Dublin. One photo showed Waldon Jensen scraping snow off a car’s windshield. He explained that his hometown of Grand Forks, North Dakota had received 18 inches of snow while Jensen was visiting his brother, Winston F. Jensen, in Dublin. The second photo is of a stop sign covered in snow with the word “BRR!” written in the snow.
