    TV3 reporters around the country live now saying things are getting worse yet the advice to remain indoors has been lifted, I'm confused.

    Don't think it's being lifted until 6 although not sure if that's nationwide

    A few news outlets reporting that a number of homeless people had to be sectioned to get them indoors

    So am I!
    I didn't bother going to work this morning although I was only ever told I didn't have to go in yesterday (no word about today).
    But here in D8 the streets are positively deserted, wind keeps battering and the snow keeps falling...

    Yup a bunch of people sleeping on the streets refused to go to emergency accomodation so they were sectioned for their own safety last night.

    I’ll be doing a soup run around the thread from 10am, stick a red scarf on your front door or like the original post if you want some hot shoup.

    I refuse to believe those were serious posters. I'm surprised they were humoured for so long.

    Billybob and beechswood probably under ten feet of snow, but once they stuck their fingers up during it its all that matters.

    Just heard someone from Irish water talking about leaving your attic door open to get heat into the attic space to help avoid the pipes up there freezing. We have fibreglass insulation between the ceiling and the attic but the roof itself is not insulated. Surely all you are doing to venting heat straight out of the roof by doing this. Attic space temp might come up slightly but the rest of the house will get colder or am I missing something?

    It's a price that might be worth paying in some cases to prevent pipes freezing / bursting. It got to -17 where I live in the last big freeze and I was lucky I checked the attic, there was 4 inches of ice from the fitting on the water tank to the now no longer connected water main.
