Hey how do you add a link to your post like "here" and "NRA Website". I keep having to put in the full Address like www.nra.ie

First of all copy the url you wish to link to and then highlight the word "here" for example (in your post/reply) and click on the little "insert link" tab at the top centre and then paste the url into that. There's a test page here if you want to practice or just muck about.

-17.6C at Castlederg at Midnight. A rise of 0.1C in an hour.

The thaw is on!:P

Harps

The NRA websites been dodgy all weekend, one minute its fine then the next time I check it it wont open, been hapening since yesterday morning

Theres a big rotating band of snow currently across the north though, not dumped anything here yet but if it reaches Castlederg the temp will probably rise again

Hi SW Sigo here. Near Longford House about 3 or so miles from the Atlantic. No snow falling here, but about 3 inches on the ground. No thaw today. The temperature is now. minus 8 celsius here. In January the lowest temp that I saw on our min max thermometer overnight was minus 6.

Absolutely crystalline outside right now. The moon is out and I can see the frost crystals growing;)

AN OLD MAN'S WINTER NIGHT

All out of doors looked darkly in at him
Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
That gathers on the pane in empty rooms.
What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze
Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand.
What kept him from remembering what it was
That brought him to that creaking room was age.
He stood with barrels round him -- at a loss.
And having scared the cellar under him
In clomping there, he scared it once again
In clomping off; -- and scared the outer night,
Which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
Of trees and crack of branches, common things,
But nothing so like beating on a box.
A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what,
A quiet light, and then not even that.
He consigned to the moon, such as she was,
So late-arising, to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case
For such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
His icicles along the wall to keep;
And slept. The log that shifted with a jolt
Once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted,
And eased his heavy breathing, but still slept.
One aged man -- one man -- can't keep a house,
A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
It's thus he does it of a winter night.

Robert Frost.

Car thermometers aren't a great authority for measuring temperatures, but this photo should give a rough idea of what it's like here at the moment.

All I can say is that I was out for just over a minute to check, and when I came back indoors my fingers started becoming numb (I wasn't wearing gloves).

That link to the NRA homepage works fine! But when you get to chart of latest reports for the weather stations it gets stuck.
