    I wonder what kind of temperatures would have been recorded in Villains location during the great winters of '47, '63 or '82.
    All eyes on his station tonight for sure, hope the batteries dont run out!!

    Wow - an extra week off school* - as per 1982.

    There is a lot resting on Met E shoulders now! If the snow does not come can you imagine what the Joe Duffy show will be like next week!

    -3.9c

    * not for me - I was in school in 1982.

    no of course it doesn't include you! how could it?! Caitríona Ruane you should get onto - i'm sure she'd follow what the south does though.

    why has he closed the schools for so long. Is it because of the grit situation and he's conceding that roads will be untreated until at least then?

    you know how you lot are nearly out of salt, and cant get any more,

    But the isle of man is ment to be getting a boat load from ireland in week to 10 days,
    i would think its coming from belfast,

    Just seams odd that we can get salt but you lot cant. unless we stole it from the mine and paid 3 times more for it:D

    Surely all these things are related to the WEATHER conditions we are currently experiencing ?
