Gale force winds will reach 64km/hr today, with gusts reaching over 100km/hr.

A friend of mine from Norway told me that there is an expression in Norway “There is not such thing as bad weather, but just the wrong clothing”
Your friend from Norway sounds like a very cool guy.
Is your friends name Billy Connolly? That’s one of his quotes.
There’s no heading out lads they’ve taken in the roads.
Finally that’s got old.
You are wrong. Am in bed having. Fr Ted binge and I’m still laughing my ass off at every episode. Never gets old.

Keith Barry said the Book of Kells would be stolen!
Hope feb won’t be as bad!
Proper Dublin bias going on here! First of all we get no snow despite multiple “yellow” warnings and then all of a sudden we’re front and centre for gales no one wants! Tsk!
Boy.Wolf.Meaningless.

Living in Boston, Massachusetts -15 cel, 3 foot of snow this week and another foot on our way tomorrow, yet the ski conditions are optional a couple of hrs north, people go about daily business and I’m venturing out for a few cozy pints tonight.
Reminds me when living in Artic Norway a few years ago but conditions are more tame here in Massachusetts in comparison to Norway when -30 cel, 6 months of snow and 1 – 4 hours each 24 hour period of sunlight was the norm.
