Met Éireann has issued a Status Orange weather warning for large parts of the country over the next 24 hours, with significant accumulations of snow and ice forecast.
A second Status Orange snow and ice warning will come into effect for Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Offaly, Wexford, Wicklow and Tipperary from 9pm until 10am tomorrow.
A separate Status Yellow warning remains in place for the entire country until midday on Friday, with the national forecaster warning of rain, sleet and snow. The possible impacts of this job are hazardous driving conditions, travel disruption and poor visibility, Met Éireann said. “This was a long and difficult operation,” spokesman Gerry Christie said. The party had to be brought up to a higher ridge before being led down. It was snowing at the time though not freezing.
Met Éireann spokesperson Gerry Murphy has warned of snow and sleet showers across much of the country today. The north midlands, Connacht and Ulster will experience the worst of this weather which will extend across the remainder of the country this evening with “disruptive” snow falls on the east coast tonight. As the band crosses the country there will be improved conditions in the southwest, he added.
