    Watching from afar I don't get it. This is obviously expected to be an exceptional(to Ireland) and severe event and people are disputing the severity. People were killed in Ophelia. If one life is even saved the warning is enough.

    Also bosses expecting their staff to travel greedy twats. Provisions should be in place for such rarities.

    Well I didn't laugh or mock when the Poles had trouble dealing with Atlantic waves . Quite a few Poles learned the hard way that they can get swept off rocks while fishing. Its all about being used to weather and dealing with it
    There is no comparison between countries that get this kind of snow regularly , they can justify spending huge money on resources because they use them all winter .

    some people are actually getting upset because they haven’t gotten enough snow.

    I think the point here is that it isnt fair that some people get more or less snow than others. Whether a persons preference is to want it or not want it is by the way - to each his own. But every one should have an equal share. The fault here lies squarely with the government and their total lack of planning and resources to deal with this kind of weather. The north west would appear to have been completely ignored again today, but nothing unusual there. Its all about Dublin, even in such matters as depth of snow.

    The drawing of the tadpole is a good effort though.

    Irony of boardsies getting angry about being told not to leave their house tomorrow- complaining of Nanny State etc ...

    As if they ever left their bedroom in their parents house...

    The young'uns coming up these days don't know the rules of the game. That's the problem.

    Of course you heard that as you've loads of Eastern European friends.

    Also, The Poles, Russians, Scandinavians etc are all just sitting around their saunas toniht laughing at Ireland. Top of their minds it is, despite them actually knowing nothing about Ireland and think we're in the UK.

    Why do people buy bread????.
    Crappest food in a crisis scenario. White bread has little to no nutrional value and doesnt last. Week tops.
    Insane to bulk buy it. Pure crap.
    Are people that ignorant??

    Why not stock up with tinned tuna and tinned fruit?. Good for you and lasts years. Doesnt taste half bad either.

    Beans on toasted tuna is why.

    Anyway, how many years are you expecting this few days of snow to last?

    My husband's boss is not closing the office tomorrow. What an unrepentant money-grubbing arsehole with a lot of disgruntled employees on his hands. Public transport isn't even running tomorrow.

    Hi remember Varadkar promised clarification for employees for days like this. Again, the message was ambiguous.

    A lot of people work for absolute Sociopaths. Where there is absolutely no trust from employees for them to do the right thing.
    People worried that the situation would be abused to mark employees as absent on their records.

    My work place pretty much had to force the situation by telling then we are done by 3pm. Then the place was forced to close by 2pm to try and save face as opposed to a mass walk out.
