The last 24 hours

Everyone is battening down the hatches over here. All of the outdoor jobs where I work have been cancelled, and us office staff aren't due in until 10 if the red weather warning is over. All the schools are closed tomorrow, and most of the stores are shut until mid-morning. I know this is a regular occurrence in some states, but it's new to us in Ireland.

To lighten the mood, a couple of weather-related jokes (although they both involve death!):

Swedish astronomer, mathematician and physicist Anders Celsius died in 1744 aged 42.
His rival, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit claimed he was actually 107.


The inventor of the wind chill factor died recently.
He was 82, but felt like he was 64.

It's warmer than that here, although we're due to drop just below freezing point again on Friday. The real problem is the red weather warning for wind on Friday when 'Storm Éowyn will probably be among the "severest storms" that Ireland has ever seen'.

Keep us posted. Doubtful it will make the national news here with everything going on. I see Los Angeles is burning big again.

The new Hughes fire is just north of Santa Clarita. It's only a couple of miles from Castaic Junction and Six Flags Magic Mountain, both of which were used as Dukes filming locations.
