    Pete, I take it back!!
    The radar maybe has a wrong ofset, its fairly coming down here now. I think we are taking all the Kilkenny snow which is rightfully ours now in Dublin.

    Barely a whisper here now and not much expected after this last band. I think that'll be my opportunity for some sleep

    Hopefully its just because your under the edge and you will get in on the act soon , as supercell said it may be a bit off , but for the most part I have found it solid through this cold period and last years
