Worst day of the decade?

It's just gone 2pm and thus far on the fabled worst day of the year. Thus far we've been forecast snow & thunderstorms, share prices in AIB and BOI are below 40cent, some homes & businesses are without power and/or Internet and I've run out of coffee. 

Never mind worst day of the year, think we're headed for a record and the title, 'Worst day of the decade'. Then again, it's Bush's last day in charge so I guess every stormcloud has a siver lining :)
