    -7.5 degrees out at the moment, I think thats pretty much the coldest iv seen it outside so far since this cold snap began.:eek:
    I know there is a lot of concentration on older and more vulnerable people at the moment and rightfully so, but please take into account animals and wildlife outside in this weather, if you notice any homeless and straying cats or dogs around your area please bring them inside somewhere warm at least during the nights when the temperatures are at their lowest. And put out some food for the poor wee birds, the wee things are desperate for it at the moment.:(

    Don't forget lukewarm water for the birds too. Many of them are dying due to lack of water.

    I recorded -13 after Stephens night in Achonry, last night felt as cold but I never checked the outside thermometer. It was too bloody cold to go out and check it. Local farmers are brilliant here, they're gritting the roads as best they can themselves.
