    Lovely pics! Always good to see the snow settling on the branches, proper winter! You just need to go out in the snow now and christen it.

    Ths snowman. okay i now he's not great, but we dont get a lot of practice in Cork. BTW, how does one embed a photo.
    (img)PUT IMAGE URL HERE(/img)

    Just change the '( )' brackets to '[ ]' ones instead. Unless you are attaching an image you have not uploaded; I think you do that by clicking on 'Go advanced' and scrolling down a bit below the text box.

    Hehe, box. Anywho....

    Had enough of it here at this point. Hope it all melts so we can get back to trying to hold down our jobs. Don't need the worry of how I will get into work tomorrow.

    Now melt to f*ck .... all of it! Melt

    I'm with you! I wonder how much business and possibly jobs has been lost through all of this? I hope they extend the sales for another few weeks because I haven't gotten near them. Ok, time to go finish my salt shrine to the God of Thaw. ;)

    Are you getting the DP from your own station?

    Snow on the Dunmore Road in Waterford is the flakey variety and it is starting to stick again. Temp here 0.8. I've no DP measurement facility.

    Yeah from my own cheap station nothing fancy;), as you said getting heavier now and starting to stick again after that brief thaw earlier. Temp 1.0c DP 0.0c

    Not too bad, the main ones are good, it's the roads that are not used that often which are dangerous.

    We might be in for a decent covering overnight too so.

    The River Shannon is freezing over in parts!:eek:
    1536 The Air Corps has flown in emergency supplies of fodder to animals on farms based on the islands of Lough Ree.

    Many large sections of the River Shannon are now covered in thick ice and gardaí are working with the army to get supplies to stockholders in the region.

    My grand mother was telling me that she last remembers the river freezing over in the last 40's, I am guessing 47.

    '1458 An iceberg has been spotted 1km northwest of Arranmore Lighthouse in Co Donegal.

    It is 40 years since an iceberg was last recorded off the Northwest coast.'
