Some people from the council came along and tried to make repairs but left as the mains pipe was frozen solid. Really hope they don't lose their electricity overnight.

In my area in the South Cork coast, we've already had more snow than 1982. Just because it looks one way outside your window doesn't mean it is the same elsewhere. Safety comes first.
