Winter Weather
The British Isles have seen some spectacularly unpleasant weather over the last few weeks, with storms and massive amounts of rainfall. Cumbria in the UK, and most places west of the Shannon in Ireland, have seen serious flooding. Now it looks as though we’re coming into the first real cold snap of the year, with predictions that temperatures almost everywhere will drop below freezing on Monday night or Tuesday morning. Snow was seen in the Wicklow Mountains last night, and is likely in parts of Scotland as well. Where these cold temperatures follow rain, ice on roads is a risk, so drive carefully, and turn dip lights on at all times.
