    Yesterday the boiler packed in, couldn't get a plumber, gambled on buying a new burner for 190 euro, fitted it myself, actually easy as it was only one pipe, and three wires, and one nut to fix it into place. Thankfully it worked, it was freezing here today.

    On some website they were saying its the storm of the century. It's not very impressive seeing as how this century only started 8years ago.

    We're feeling some effects of it in Galway.

    This storm was going to be the most entertaining thing to happen to the Irish since we got to the quarters in the world cup back in the nineties, but nothing, I've bloodly seen more wind come out of a persons buttocks, We don't ask for much, now I was promised to see a storm by Rte and I expect to see one!

    Indeed. I love listening to storms. Have the window open here so I can hear it all night and there's hardly a breeze (South Dublin). Very disappointed.

    I'm really excited... but so far I'm seeing nothing. Hearing a few gusts of wind every now and then but I'm pretty dissapointed overall.
    Come on stormy!
    Guarunteed when a brick blows through my window I won't be so mouthy.

    wouldnt the large amount of rain and cloud cover make it warmer rather than colder?

    clouds = no frost
    no frost = warmth

    I think they pay once on a "Act of God" and after that no insurance company will touch you.

    Clonmel is a town at serious risk of flooding and it was widely reported that they could not get comparable insurance after 2002

    It's gone from being stormy to completely calm here. No wind or rain at all. I was able to let the dog out for a pee.

    I suppose it's too much to hope that the worst is over.

    Wow. That was so incredibly unrelated and trolltastic. I'm in awe.

    Talk about the weather or not at all is your best bet.

    Cavan still blowing hard, in a fairly remote area so Nothing to get damaged or blown about that I can think of, which is disappointing! :P

    Listening to an ice hockey game live from Anaheim, California. My team conceded to Anaheim after 21 seconds......almost like if the puck was blown into the net...... it even controls the fate of sports events 6000 miles away. This storm will surely end us all.

    going out for a smoke is becoming a right royal pain in the arse. door nearly blew off the hinges earlier on, heard a nice satisfying crunch as it began to warp.
