What happens when it snows in Ireland

Hello everyone,

Well have you ever wanted to know what happens to a country that doesn't have snow removal equipment?

You get a real snow day. Not like the ones in Utah where you still have to drive on the roads before the plows have been out. Instead they close everything down and you get to go home.

So to get a free day off from work it needs to snow about 1/2 inch melt, snow another 1/4 inch melt again, then worry the roads are going to freeze. Once that happens the buses or the taxi's don't run and you are stuck at work for the night.

Since they want everyone to come to work the next day and not get killed on the way home, (since you would have to walk about an hour into the city on a major highway with no footpaths.) The center announced that it would close at 4 pm so we could get home safely.

The best part I was scheduled to work the late shift until 8 pm and I only had to work 4 hours instead.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the snow even though it was pretty with all the green in the background.

Just remember next time it snows that you need to meet the above qualifications to take a real snow day.

Talk to everyone soon,

Teresa
