Newfoundland is getting pounded the worst, which means the drunks will be roaring up and down the main drag in St. John's in their ATVs and snowgos, pissing off the local constabulary who take a dim view of frozen drag racing.

Great story out of Ireland after what we called Goliath and they called Gertrude:

Omagh's flying rabbit: Bunny rescued from roof after Storm Gertrude

Forget run, rabbit, run - this is a story that's all about fly, rabbit, fly.

The fire service rescued a rabbit from the roof of a bungalow in Omagh, County Tyrone on Friday morning.

Bumper the bunny was thrown onto the roof after Storm Gertrude blew his hutch over in high winds, said the fire service.

The pet was a hare's breadth from disaster - but managed to hold on until rabbit rescue arrived.
