    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 think Friday could either be a white-out or a wash-out.

    He said it would 'very possibly' fall as snow in inland and eastern parts, but we'll see...I've seen this kind of front before :P

    I saw that! lol

    Your man was very dismayed too when it started to snow during the report. A serious 'f-ck this' look on his face.


    no don't say that pleeeeaassssee!! I need some more snow than that measly shower we got yesterday!

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

    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

    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...

    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

    dont think Dunshaughlin or most of South Meath gonna get snow for quite some time more. We are drifting in and out of the Isle Of Man shadow way too much for comfort. Hopefullly we'll get lucky later on tonight for a decent dumping of flakey snow rather than that hail shower stuff.
