In news that will surely surprise no one, the weather that everyone has been saying will be very bad has arrived and is very bad. So bad in fact that those weather-loving fiends over at Met Éireann have issued a status red weather warning.
The warning applies to most Leinster and Munster and is valid until Friday 2nd March at 12pm, with the rest of the country still remaining on an orange warning.
Severe Weather Warning issued for Snow/Ice
Status: RED
Location: Dublin, Kildare, Louth, Wicklow and Meath

The Department of Education has tweeted that all colleges, schools and universities in Munster and Leinster:
Given the disruption to transport and the safety risks arising before blizzard like conditions hit Munster and Leinster, all schools, third level institutions, colleges and centres of further education in red areas will be closed tomorrow and Friday.

If I was Oprah this is the part where I might stand and up yell 'snow days for you, and you get a snow day, and you' etc. But, as I am continually reminded to my bitter disappointment each day, I am not Oprah.
Enjoy snow days!
