Snow in Clontarf getting heavier, sky is a strange orangey colour. Jeez will seriously need to lose some weight when the thaw comes. I've been getting home early and cooking so much it would put Nigella to shame. Soups, breads, beef and guinness pie. apple tarts, cookies.......

I want to live with you!!!!!

Hardly any snow today in portarlington

For those who are wondering about the orange sky, it's just the reflection of sodium street lights in the falling snow, nothing strange.

First flakes in Donabate! First of a long night hopefully!

For the first time today, proper heavy snow in Kilkenny town - bring it

jos28

All set for a night in front of the TV. Just noticed that I need to record something but couldn't. I forgot that the storm on Friday night fried our Sky box

thetonynator

Bucketing snow here.

Just want to mention, the guards have requested that people give way to gritters where it is safe to do so to speed up their job. Saw it on rte.ie

Garseys

Had to walk from Glasnevin to Connolly station. Not very fun roads are an absolute nightmare. I'd avoid driving!

Of course an employee can have power and rights. But as mentioned it isn't a union job. I didn't see the original post and i'm only assuming by reading other posts the person wanted to go home early or not go in for a shift but was told they would lose their job if they did not so up. Or just left.

If you refuse to work a rostered shift an employer can terminate your contract unless there is something in the contract stating he/she can't. Yes there is snow and yes there are disruptions to public transport and yes the roads are slippy. But there is no Government or weather warning stating that it is dangerous to go outside. And due to that the law will side with the employer. I've a law background and although labor law isn't my area i'd be 99% sure that any legal action would be fruitless.

Lads will ye take this side discussion to Work & Jobs? Nothing to do with weather...

Slow going here. Really just flakes blowing in the air. The evening looks interesting alright, but it'll be a nailbiter at times.

M2 dew point is at 1.2

that's not good for the snow-enthusiasts

The M2 dp is not really that important when you already have cold air settled in place ,

Its more of a case when you have a marginal dp inland that your on the look out for a negative dp at the M2
