    But Ken, they weren't necessarily useless posts. Some of us were just trying to guide you guys down from the obvious high by quoting the social reality. Think of us as drug counselors.:D

    Shouldn't we be going cold turkey. :)

    Has thawed very little here, I'm a snow lover but having snow on the roads for over a week turns me into a snow hater.

    **** all sign of a thaw around here outside of the sunlight. Local amateur weather station is down so can't be sure of the temperature unfortunately.

    Most likely it'll thaw a little then freeze smooth and make me late for college again tomorrow.

    Have to agree: Dundalk is still gripped with snow on footpaths and fields, and half the town's main roads have black ice (ramparts and castletown/ecco rd especially bad).
    My thermo is showing -0.6...but the car was showing about 1-2C earlier (about 2pm).
    Not a cloud in the sky and anything that has thawed slightly since this mroning is just going to turn to glass in a few hours...

    Castletown Road is a disgrace. Was saying elsewhere last night that in a 10 year old Almera with a bad clutch we were getting wheelspin at under 10mph in second gear.
    The da's thermometer seems to be an average of ~4 degrees higher than the weather station in Toberona, I'd say 1-2 of that is explained by being that bit closer to the coast, leaving roughly the same error you're getting.

    Has anyone else noticed how many times Gerry Murphy says the word 'thaw' in recent forecasts? He loves it.

    Also it's the worst thaw ever, what ever happened the good old thaws in the 80's when a front pushed in from the south west with temps in the 10-12c that would just wash it all away. At this rate they'll be ice hanging around at christmas.Another snowfall would make it so much more bareable :pac:

    He sure does, i think when he says shleet it's as good as snow.

    Anyway should be a decent thaw by next weekend for those who need to get to the shops to stock up on beer for next cold spell.
