Grow a thick skin, it'll help in the cold weather.

Very light continuous snow in Greystones for about an hour, its the tail end of what pummelled Dublin earlier, less than 1cm I'd say but it all adds up. Radar still encouraging for another hour or so - go North Easterlies!

If your business is so dependant on the weather that a week of snow means that you'll have to lay people off, then your business was probably going to fail anyway. Any good business will have contingencies in place to deal with supply shocks, and a business shouldn't be in the red just because it loses a week's income.

yup in work on Monday they were using a JCB with its bucket down to clear the roads.

The local Aldi hired a jcb to clear the car park,when he was finished he drove it home and all the while we got warnings to avoid the town centre due to snow,council seem to be missing.

Ye i understand what you are saying but would you rather hate on the snow or enjoy it while we have it...It is not gonna go any faster

This is the only right view on things (in general, not only weather). So anyone coming to a forum and trying to tell out people that they should not be enjoying something they can't help to change - how would you describe that?
I'd say pretty sad. There is probably a different agenda behind that, too.

I've posted a poll to gauge the snow lovers vs snow haters with respect to whether it's affecting your income or not:

The result speaks volumes tbh

I was agreeing with you.. it seems like all these people posting on this thread have their heads buried in the snow.. people have to work to stay afloat.. this weather is now making this hard.. also old people living alone will find it hard in this weather.. yet people on posting this site don't think or worry about this sort of thing... they are actually praying Ireland gets deep in snow.. idiots the lot of them...

You haven't a clue. Check out the thread on businesses affected by snow in this forum.

You're right. Praying is all that causes all this snow. *slaps forehead*

(Actually, double facepalm)

I can follow posts. But thanks a lot Einstein.

No you can't.....this is not the thread to me moaning about people enjoying the snow ...:mad:

DDigital wrote: »

Well I don't enjoy it and would like to remind you that an already demolished economy is suffering here. I don't know your personal situation, but expect lay offs in the new year as a result of this.

Glass half empty kinda guy? Nothing wrong with being able to enjoy something we have no power in changing it.

In this forum this is actually considered trolling, btw.

No, you're obviously not the type who tries to enjoy whatever he/she can, and not groan and moan on things that can't be changed.
Might not be true, but this is the impression you are giving - just so you know.
