Six things you should not do after Met Eireann issued snow-ice weather warning as Storm Freya hit Ireland
A nationwide Status Yellow snow-ice weather warning was issued by Met Eireann.
DO NOT pour boiling water on your car windscreen Pouring hot water on your windscreen may seem like the quickest way to defrost it, especially in that early morning rush. DO NOT drive to normal road conditions Driving in snow and ice should not be taken for granted, no matter how little your area might have received.
1. Keep your hands and face warm - if they get cold they can trigger a rise in blood pressure which puts you at increased risk of a heart attack. DO NOT go to A&E with treatable winter illnesses If you are normally fit and well, many of the coughs, colds and minor illnesses that seem to strike us in winter can be safely managed by yourself.
DO NOT let the temperature drop in your home Putting the heating on might sound obvious, but different bodies have different temperature needs depending on age and general wellbeing.
