I'm suddenly imagining a TV3 spin off of Discovery Channel's Stormchasers series, expect it's set in Ireland and instead of chasing twisters, the lads go around in a hiace chasing snow showers. Sponsered by Maltesers.

Better patent that It's TV3 so you never know :eek:

Dublin city council came down our road here today to wash the street, now we have three cars gone off the street as it froze over practically straight away....:eek:

What was the point in that? Should they not have been gritting it??

They were preparing the surface for the inaugural Irish ice skating marathon. You can't expect the athletes to skate on anything less than a perfect surface.

There are Klingons being reported off the starboard bow.

Eh? It's too early. Latest Met Eireann forecast mentions "Showers arriving on eastern coasts will become more frequent, and renewed snowfall will occur in east Leinster before morning."
