I also looked at the BBC site. Unbelievable really. I don't remember the name of the lady who is going back to Omagh.....if you go to the Northern Ireland section, there is a photo of the frozen river that runs through the town. There doesn't seem to be so much snow in NI but it is very cold.

I am sure they will be fine Jackie. Can you phone them? They are probably making a snowman as we speak. Joke.

I have to say I was a bit scared too as the place I lived/worked was at the top of a hill, so I used to get a taxi to and from the shops as if I fell and broke a bone I would have been in a right pickle living down there on my own!!
I had forgotten all this stuff about snow and ice of course, so when the snow thaws a little in the day say and then it is bitterly cold overnight then it turns into ice, then the nice powdery snow falls on top of it, it's like a deadly combination!!! Of course all you people living in cold climates know this but that was another thing I had to re-learn.

When I worked in Frome, a lot of the elderly didn't go out if they didn't have a car, they relied on neighbours to get them things from the shops or would get home deliveries. My mum is the same, my family drop off stuff to her as needed.
