Nevyn · 2010-03-30 23:58:03

The lights have been flickering all fecking evening, happened while out in town in a few different places and has been happening at home. I've mentioned it to a few people and they have noticed it as well. So has it been happening where you are?

Been happening in the D5 and D13 area since around 10pm. I though the rain had somehow leaked into the main fuseboard.

been flickering in north tipp and more importantly the Chorus MMDS seems to have blown a fuse, but it may be the arial as there are large amounts of sticky snow/ice combinations on roofs

snow here this evening is unreal, must be the cause, it started as basicly falling ice more then snow, then massive snow fall for several hours. not seen one car out on the road, so i would imagine there is a heavy loading on the grid from heating.

Eirgrid must be having fun...

I've been noticing it myself, thought it might be stuff switching somewhere. Been long enough to trigger a few resets of the desktop downstairs.
