Met Éireann issues nationwide snow and ice alert: Road users warned to take extra care
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.
Ireland is “in the grip” of a cold snap which will last until the end of the week, he told RTÉ Radio’s Morning Ireland. “We’ve had reports in Mayo, Kilkenny, Laois, right across the Midlands, some very heavy snow in parts of Limerick and Clare. Now it’s going to continue to move northwards. So this afternoon the northern half of the country mainly gets sleet or snow, while further south there will probably be more rain and sleet,” Mr Murphy said.
