Brian - we're expecting about twice that, 65 miles east of you. I have plans to drive north to see the Irish Rovers tomorrow and I'll be VERY angry if the weather prevents me from getting there.

Back on topic, I agree with most of the sentiments I've read here, though I do enjoy the fact that Irish music and people with whom to enjoy it are easier to find on March 17.

I'm VERY glad we adopted corned beef. I'll never forget the boiled bacon that my maternal grandmother cooked with the vegetables until the whole thing was a tasteless mess.
