AA ROADWATCH IS warning drivers that “extreme caution” is required on roads across the country tonight as temperatures in some places drop below zero.
Temperatures are not expected to rise overnight and AA said “icy roads are countrywide”.
There was snow in certain areas earlier today and Met Éireann warned temperatures could reach -1.
Tomorrow ‘extremely windy or stormy weather’ will greet us all with some severe winds developing. There will be very heavy rain early on and there is a chance of spot flooding. The freezing temperatures are also expected to return tomorrow night.
Bundle up everyone.

I just drove home from Carlow to Portlaoise. The road has been salted but it is still lethal dangerous. Keep the speed down peeps!! Safe driving..
Why, what happened ? What did you find dangerous? Bold summer tires, no experience or maybe just a dark cold wet winter night?
The roads are sloppy smart@rse
*slippy
Are you serious? the roads are slippy? In the winter?
Thanks Moosy glad you got back okay.
Yeah the Portlaoise – Carlow road is very bad !
Nobody thinks you’re funny keyboard hero. By the way, its technically spring
Down my way it’s absolutely treacherous. I’m posting this from the side of the road. Visibility is no more than 10 feet.
The again, I’m langers.
Hope the Mrs isn’t waiting at the top of the stairs with the infamous rolling pin when you get home Drew.
Lol Molly, I’ll have you know I’m lying in bed as we speak, herself snoring away, two large male dogs lying at the end of the bed, telly on to distract from the sound of my typing, happy 2 year old after shaking off her blankets and I’m worrying she may be cold now(i know that because I’m looking at her on the baby monitor as I type).
I’d reckon, technology aside or included, I’m describing my, and many other families round this country of ours right now. And I love having a happy family, as do they all in all.
Btw Molly. I too make a living via art (in my case music). Saw your posts elsewhere, and I know what you mean.
No it isn’t. February is only traditionally spring in Ireland, but not technically.
Drew, it may be wet and windy outside, but when you have warmth in your heart it matters not a jot…..
Ailbhe, you want to check again…technically Spring??? It’s still winter as Spring is not until next month
This weather always makes me laugh and think of that lad that fell on ice on rte news a few years ago
Guess what @ Tequila Gold….its Spring!
Don’t feed the trolls!
Stay safe Dublin.
In kildare meself and a dub. But I’ll tip me hat. The lads here do a smashing job keeping the roads safe. 1st class job
Being red thumbed for saying stay safe? Of course because you said Dublin all the other counties aren’t happy. Because you’re not allowed like Dublin even though it is their capital. Stay classy boggers.
James, you have an inferiority complex.
Leslie gets away with being a Dub as he has clearly acknowledged he’s a Dub, highly complimented the locals lads clearing the roads – he knows his place as a Dub out of water. Us non Dubs, like that.
I’m a bogger! I green thumbed your first comment, however now……..
Terrible night here in Donegal, lightning knocked the power out at about 9 o’clock but fair play to ESB they had it back on at 11. Not a night I would want to be out working.
My in laws tell me Kilkenny has a lot of snow right now too. Fortunately in Cork, considering we were under water last week, it’s very mild and was a very nice dry day where I am.
Omg omg -1 extreme danger
Extreme a**ehole
Not much about is an it’s not affecting Dublin too much
It’s all over the news and there are numerous articles on every news site. What are you on about? Just looking for something to give out about.
Cork and Kerry have had their weather status upgraded to code red, for high winds and heavy seas as of midnight.
We are getting frequent hail/snow/sleet in Clare. No winds to speak of as yet, but by morning, we won’t need an alarm clock.
Roads never Ice in Ovens
Newsflash airports closed, light dusting of snow
Now now folks, surely the word is slippery
Nearly a 2 feet of snow in clare. Main ennis road closed
I’ll pour salt only tyres then #supersafe
No… February is Spring. End of.
Bring the snow on…
Winter tyres. was trying to light up the traction control this morning. But only managed it once. The only way you knew there was snow was the spoiler scraping the piled up snow. And the white road. But the I live up a hill in donegal.
Winter tyres good, traction control is for girls :-)
Is it hilly ? Or on a hill .
have your say
