    Just looking at the radar. The first of the recently 'pepped up' irish sea activity is about to hit Dublin.

    No not a union job. Have a mortgage so I need to keep my job. Looks like
    Luas to town and a long walk. At 10pm and I'm female. Great.

    Sorry to hear that, have a look at the buses website, there is some more services coming back (not much though) but it might not last as there's more snow on the way

    -17 by Sunday eek.gif

    Thats what yer man on rte said - and it was in the context of temps dropping more towards -17


    must be talking ground temperatures which would make sense

    air temps that low would be fantasy :rolleyes:

    Yip! Better make sure those pipes don't freeze up. Lag them well with 100 - 120 mm Armor flex foam where accessible and in the attic.

    Anything else I can use ? What about wrapping old cloths/towels around them ?

    Wouldn't have a case with constructive dismissal. There is still public transport running and while roads can be dangerous if not driving safely they are not impassable. (Just going by reports on here). So if you have a rostered shift to start or end at a certain time the boss is well within his rights to ask you to work within those hours if the business remains open. If there was a declared state of emergency and a very real dangar you would obviously have a case if you walked out. Not siding with the boss as it's a poxy stance to take in the conditions that seem to be in Ireland at present.

    Lads i actually can't believe what i've just seen on RTE news!! it's UNREAL stuff!! I actually didn't think that the main roads were THAT bad - even from reading the RTE website there wasn't a huge major headline saying that the whole East coast is at a standstill or anything - which it is! Carlow town -"closed down" according to Damien Tiernan!

    When was the last time we had snow this bad? Of course it's like i'm living in another country down here but i'm thinking maybe i'm better off....(although would still like more snow:D)

    How's it looking for Friday? Cos if we get anymore the east will be banjaxed altogether!:D
