Weird weather. Very little snow overnight but what a wind !! . It has found crevices and gaps in the house noone knew we'd there. The odd thing is that the brisk!!!! Very Dry air is actually drying the snow and making it disappear. It certainly not the air temperature Paths around the house...

Water can get in as humidity and then get trapped adsorbed in air pockets, so where there is air exchange. Think domestic oil tanks where the water eventually gets in and drops to the bottom of the tank, rusting from the bottom....

We had plenty of Snow yesterday, but very little since.. there is snow in the air but the gale is scouring it and driving it south. The Cooley's look nice, when we can see them....

Thanks tommie, keep warm.

On the north east coast of Ireland, we are feeling a wind slightly stronger than " quiet strongly", try, "difficult to stand up in". And with the appropriate wind chill factor. What is novel is that there is very little moisture in it.

My understanding is that , contrary to newspaper reports UK has not yet experienced storm Emma. What you have, and you got it before us is the Siberian wind and snow. Which obviously came from the East. Emma is coming up from the south and will be hitting the south western part of ireland about...

I agree with you, but the time for fudge has passed. That was the sole purpose of the eu "backstop" statement. The wisest course of action , and in my opinion the more honourable whould be to declare this circle cannot be squared, and state " look I know it's not what you voted for , but now...

What is a poison? . What is toxic? 100ppm is 1:10^5, 1000ppm is 1:10^4,10,000ppm is 0.1% There are obscure but well understood physiological effects from high CO2 concentration, normal breathing is triggered when internal CO2 concentration exceeds certain thresholds, and can induce heart...

OG, the entire tenor of your argument is riddled with spurious objections. Dare i say it it is arguement for arguements sake. It is a classical egg and chicken situation. Companies need workers and will provide the facilities . In the old days, companies provided bicycle sheds and canteens, not...

Back to brexit .... The time for fudge is declining.. see the EU proposal and my comments from last week....

You do when you have exhausted all other options!

There was an interesting exchange of views between articles written in the Telegraph ie the . British paper not NI paper and the irish times columnist Fintan o 'Toole. .. as you may have picked there is a campaign in the uk to consider the GFA as being a local little arrangement which was...

What kind of boost would the pound get if the uk government said .. let's try and stay in the EU?
