    The hail is back and is now 2-3cms deep on the ground, falling off the cars like discarded slush puppies. seems to be easing a bit. The roads must be lethal, amazed its not melting faster

    For how long? Some dark clouds showing there ..the 'mini cloud maker' is rather unnecessary for today.
    Pissing down here at the mo..

    Was a float by some folks from inishowen that was on the parade coverage at the time of the storm..seems they drew inspiration from Kate Bushes Cloudbusting video!
    They had a snow machine as well:eek:

    What are those weird horizontal lights in the sky in the first pic?

    Was there alien activity around the time of the storm? :eek::eek::eek:

    Think they are the reflection in the window of the interior lights.


    Dublin city centre was nice and warm today. Cool breeze died down and it got nice and warm in the sun.
