    And keep cutting people off... :rolleyes:

    No, do both.

    Cutting someone off right now could be argued to be an abuse of human rights by a good lawyer!

    that's strange coz the snow is melting here quite fast now, been dripping all day and the drips are now heavier and it's not frezzing outside at all. At least 2 inchs of snow melted since this morning. My confidence of snow falling from the atlantic front is fairly low because of this.

    That's odd - especially as Dublin Airport is reporting -5ºC (via ME).

    How? Only the coasts seem to be anywhere near above freezing...

    RE : earlier discussion about lack of investment in snow plows etc, and the prohibitive cost of buying things that will hardly ever be used.

    Check out what they do in New York and Canada. Garbage trucks with attachment slots at the front to take a plow...

    I hear dripping too, I think its just cause obviously my house is warmer then air temp, so snow on my roof is probably melting. Need better insulation.
