I'm in the Sally Gap/Manor Kilbride area and can hear chopper activity although we can't see anything....anybody know what's going on?

I understand it was a medical emergency. Well done and thanks to all crew and medical staff involved. Visibility was appalling at the time.

Too much to consider a visit! Drifts are anything from 2 metres upwards and roads won't be cleared for some time.
