    If this is status orange then Galway and Mayo must look like Chernobyl.

    Roof looks to be intact anyway, I've lost a gate and some fence but the roof would be the main thing.

    This is the first test of the fence I repaired with my Dad after the guy next door had two failed attempts.

    I've had the joys of electricity for a sum total of 5 hours since Friday night, gone since 10pm last night again. Some pain in the hole when you need it for water too.

    Seems mental that the weather services are warning people about potential extreme weather. They need to get into their lane.

    Keep your distance - you might need up to 10 times the normal gap behind the car in front
    Accelerate gently - there's no need for high revs, and taking off in second gear can sometimes help avoid skidding
    Be wary in freezing rain - in these conditions it's best to reduce speed, increase distance between vehicles, and watch out for slippery black ice
    Look out for gritters - they'll be out spreading salt or using snow ploughs, so only overtake if it's safe

    Take the entire week off. Nobody should be expected to leave home in such BRUTAL conditions.

    It's already raining around here so the few inches we got will be slush in a few hours.

    I presumed all the 'snow events' and colour-coded warnings were more about legal arse covering than anything else. London Rules, as Mick Herron would say.

    Things just getting started, but had to drive to a kids birthday party and things were already looking treacherous. I have a spare set of wheel with winter tires for the Fiat, but was too lazy to mount them.

    The thing is it seems like overkill then you hear a group of daft cunts went up Scafell Pike in the early hours of this morning and had to call Mountain Rescue out due to the bad weather and not having the right kit

    Most of the time they're there BECAUSE of the warning though. Every time there's a storm some idiot gets swept out to sea for the same reason.

    It's started again here now. I'd say I won't get out of the house until Friday at the earliest.

    Don't know about the angel. I hurt my back a few days ago and I fear that I will not be able to get back up if I lie down.
