Hi Jon - yes that made the BBC Radio Ulster news this morning. I was out a
fair bit yesterday but was oblivious to any of that, though conditions
seemed perfect for it. It reminds me I should unplug my PC more in these
winter Arctic airstreams:-)

Here in Donaghadee Saturday night/Sunday morning was the worse storm of the
winter. Trees down, slates off and a fencepost in the garden snapped. There
was no warning on the weather forecast on Saturday evening of the severity
of the winds. Many people without power in NI on Sunday, though thankfully
we didn't have that problem.
