Flue off chimney flew last night. Broke a slate and landed beside car - could have been a lot worse. Windy, wet and rotten here now.

Covering of about inch of snow out thismorning but it's already starting to drizzle rain.

Lashing rain.

Nice coat of snow, met Leitrim gritter he wasn't spreading much if at all ( must be bad weather or else saving for next year). Cavan roads are better.
It's bad when the "mean" will spend

Don't I know. Ended up in a ditch in 2010 at 5am

Was going to the mart and farther afield this morning until I heard reports of black ice on the N59, so that put an end to that.
