SNOW !!!

Yes, folks, the good people here in Irish Weather Creation Ltd, a sub-group of God PLC, sent some snow our way last night. Anyone from Alaska etc. may not be that impressed, but for Ireland, particularly in the last 10 years where global warming has left us snow-less for many a winter, it is a bit unusual! In the 70s and early 80s there was lots of snow every winter, but not any more. OK, it isn't staying on the ground, but my car looked very festive this morning. Incidentally, we are having a lot of fog these days, and it has to be noted that very few drivers put on their fog lights. This is odd, as everyone has them on during clear summer evenings. Then they sit at the traffic lights wondering why every driver behind them has a big red face and squinting eyes. Maybe they go to turn them on in fog, not realising they've been on all summer, and inadvertantly turn them off?
