Road users are being urged to use extreme caution this morning as sub-zero temperatures and limited visibility have hit some parts of the country.
An orange snow, ice and rain warning remains in place for most of Munster, while the rest of the country is under a yellow warning for snow, ice and low temperatures.
Heavy snow has been reported in Mayo, Roscommon and Galway. There’s been light snow in many parts of Donegal as well, with gardai warning of treacherous road conditions in some areas, particularly on routes that are not on the council’s gritting programme.
The PSNI also report some dangerous roads north of the border. All motorists are being advised to be careful on the roads if they have to travel.
The cold snap will last into tomorrow, but Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather says the weather could change quickly into the weekend……………
