Tomorro morning roads could be insane by all accounts. Why the hell aren't more carriages being put on trains and darts if they know the buses are messed up?

Any chance of getting snowed in D15?

Just leave. Your safety is more important than work.

Small request to people with 4 wheel drive vehicles: Turn on the 4 wheel drive before setting out, unlike some idiots in their jeeps with the two front wheels spinning and going nowhere . . . :rolleyes:

little bess

I know it's all been fun and games on here the last couple of days,but I hope all of you working or driving or needing to get home tonight , get there safely.

Snowing in Navan, thought the radar was showing clear skys for us ?

My dad picked up our car from Mum's work in Inchicore at about 3pm. As of twenty minutes ago, he was at the Ha'penny bridge! Mum's Luas was quicker, she's meeting him in town so at least they can sit in the car together. Told her to avoid Connolly!

whiteandlight

The raintoday radar is shifting much more east now (IE going to hit Maynooth lol) anyone know if this is correct with winds? I get very confused between directions they are going/coming from etc

People like this, evil bosses need to have their arse takien to court for bullying employees into endangering themselves. Make sure she shows that text to a solicitor. Keep note of all todays weather warnings, and the weeks, as record.

Looks like Dublin is going to get another dumping in the next hour or so. Convection really picking up off the coast now.

Unfortuately I've been told just leaving will Be a leaving permanently case so no option but to stay.

I was abandoned outside work last January for a couple of hours(I'm a wheelchair user), while everyone else went home. Spent a couple of hours wandering around with a colleague who was waiting for someone to collect him. Resulted in me being out of work for 2 weeks sick!!!! :mad: Am staying off work for the rest of the week cos I don't want to put myself through that s**t again.

Heyes

Silly question but I'm not a photographer.
How come the people didn't show up in the photo?

Also, hope you're leaving some food out for the poor fox.

If you get up and walk out there is such a thing as constructive dismissal which you can take him to court for. At this point Id say f*** and leave, make note of everything before you leave your desk. Are there others there with you?

chat to the legal guys.
