    To be fair to the companies they are only going on when a red alert is announced B&L and Eistech probably have well over 2000 employees between them thats a lot of people to pay for a snow day,the roads in the city arent bad now but who knows whats going to happen in the next few days they might have to stay closed for longer than anticipated.

    many of the roads are lethal enough now, they ll more than likely be much worse tomorrow and on friday. it would be best if everyone closed now until maybe saturday. having people move around now is simply dangerous.

    Just knock on a few neighbours doors and you'll find someone who's bought 8 loaves of bread and half a fruit & veg department.

    Im worried about the eistex employees that stand around outside smoking and throwing their fag ends on the ground, they could get frost bite

    Probably not. They have a notorious name all over the country as an absolute scumbag of an employer and the way they treat their staff is appalling, from denying holidays to expecting people to work unpaid overtime etc etc.

    If any of them had an ounce of common sense they would tell then to fcuk off if asked to work today and/or tomorrow.

    A lot of places are planning on reopening tomorrow around 1 - 3pm but I'd say that will change tonight/early tomorrow morn, places will be lethal tomorrow.

    The blanket of snow will cover the beautiful collage of chewing gum stuck to the ground that their employees have created outside the building from spitting it from their gobs as they go to work

    Not on the dot! :D Though yes it is quite quiet out there wind wise. Presumably it'll pickup, I was hopeing we'd get this blizzard bit over and done ASAP I have to go the back of beyond (Co Limerick) on Sunday at 8 AM and was hoping we'd be in milder air well before then but I'm starting to have my doubts.

    Where roughly are you in the city? Where I am doesn't seem to have done much since about 9pm.

    Dunmore road seems well covered. Over two feet or so in drifts. Almost 1982ish but not quite yet.
