It is a no win situation, either they die of hypothermia and the unfeeling Government/public is to blame, or they are carted off against their will. Sigh. TBH anyone who refuses shelter and sleeps in a doorway tonight needs that kind of help anyway IMO. But at least if they are sectioned they will have shelter. Even for the duration of this. Back to window watching..... Yep, still belting down that powdery icy stuff here,but the levels outside are getting higher by the minute. I have everything in lock down so I can't hear the wind. But the trees are doing a bit of a dance out there alright.

I'm sure something will happen, but could be hours away, and don't feel like staying up all night. Pity, as I'd like to have seen a blizzard. I'm in the country too, so not much hope of seeing much anyway since we've no street lights!

Would certainly make it easier to navigate the threads and a lot less annoying to read. Anyway it's snowing in Dublin now so Red advisory is accepted I guess
