Okay so I have been complaining about the bitterly cold weather, this is our 8th winter in Ireland and so far the coldest, never in the 8 years have we seen so much frost and has it been cold for so long with out a relent. Our country manager (CEO) has just got back from his Christmas at home, he is from Belgium and says that he would rather have spent the time in Ireland, aparently Belgium has been minus -14 in some places.
I figured that this can only mean 2 things, besides the fact that is seems that we have had the longest coldest winter ever, due to the fact that we did not have a summer, and those are: either we are going to have a very, very hot summer or else this is Global warming and we will have a very wet summer and go straight into winter again, which means that the next ice age is finally upon us and then it is time to look at moving South. I wouldn't really mind if it was cold and we had snow, but the snow just stays away!

We are all "under the weather" Rosie!
The weather's been crazy here in Toronto this past year as well.
I guess we have to think climate change, not global warming.
Too True Barry, I guess some words that the Media put into our heads just stick! The weather is fascinating, and as we say in Ireland the only thing the Irish have to complain about is the weather, although that is not entirely true anymore but for now we won't go down that road.
