Do we need to rethink using county boundaries weather warnings?

Description

During last week’s frost, some places under Orange warnings did not experience severe weather, while other areas in the same county were hard-hit.  This could be a sign that weather alert systems need to rethink using county boundaries in their warnings.  

That’s according to John Sweeney, Climatologist and Professor Emeritus of Geography at Maynooth University who spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning.
