From tomorrow, the temperature is to plummet, with Met Éireann set to issue snow and ice warnings in the coming days.

Why? Well, it’s all Siberia’s fault.

It all sounds a bit, extreme, doesn’t it?

There is no way something with as dramatic a title as THE BEAST FROM THE EAST can ever live up to its billing.

I bet it’s a bit embarrassed to have such a name

BREAKING: #BeastFromTheEast changes its name to #StormDave.

But not too prepared

It wouldn’t be in our nature.

Guys all this weather #BeastFromTheEast chat is freaking me out. I just looked up how much snow chains for the car are. I'm not buying them, but I looked them up.
