FROM IRISH CENTRAL: Ireland is known for its rich historical past. No stranger to conquests, hunger and tyranny, here are the top ten eras where living in the Emerald Isle was treacherous.

In the top 10 is the winter of 1740: A severe weather front hit Ireland in the one of the coldest winters in Irish history in 1740. The great frost wiped out an estimated 400,000 as temperatures plummeted and the cold intensified. The cold weather led to food riots, famine and epidemic and death.

great reading .......... thanks for posting Mark
Weather forecast for tonight: dark
The trouble with forcasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.
