Ireland is set for a wintry blast, with Met Eireann issuing a snow and ice warning for the entire country.
The Yellow warning will stay in place from Thursday 4pm until 11am Friday morning.
Met Eireann has said that scattered showers of hail, sleet and snow will lead to hazardous road conditions when travelling.
However, the question on everyone's lips is, do you have to go to work if it is snowing?
Legally speaking, your office cannot fall below a temperature of 17.5 degrees celsius.
But for many, the introduction of central heating usually means this rule is now obsolete.
Unfortunately, the news doesn't get any better for those who are snowed in.
Although there may be nothing you can do about not being able to get to work, your employer has no legal obligation to pay you for your missed day.
However, you may be able to take the day off as annual leave or as unpaid leave, but your employer has the power to make that decision.
Legislation was brought before the Dail in 2018 that suggested people would no longer be required to go to work if a red warning was in place.
It proposed employers would be committing an offence to open their business if it would endanger their staff.
The Dail ultimately defeated the motion, meaning you have no legal grounds not to show up to work, even if you are snowed under.
Things are looking up, though, as a forecaster has suggested that the snow may clear by Friday afternoon.
They said: "Friday morning will bring showers of rain, hail, sleet and snow. However, during the day, showers will turn more to rain and sleet and will become less frequent.
"During the afternoon, rain will develop in the west and southwest. Highest temperatures of 4 to 8C, with fresh, gusty westerly winds."
They added: "Fairly widespread showers on Friday morning, with some falls of sleet or snow initially and it will be icy in places. It will turn a little less cold as the day progresses with good sunny spells developing for the afternoon in the north and east."
