Snow, sleet and frost ... It's going to be bitterly cold this weekend

Certain dogs may be easier to find…

GOT PLANS FOR Sunday?

If they involve wearing jumpers and hanging around indoors — you’re in luck.

The day will be “bitterly cold” according to Met Éireann. And there’ll be some wintry showers in the course of the day.

“Snow on western and northern hills and possibly some sleet on lower levels,” the forecasting service’s website says.

There could be a flurry or two on higher ground in the east of the country too — and we’ll be lucky if temperatures reach between 3 and 6.

It’ll be a little warmer on Monday, but overnight frost will make driving conditions difficult for anyone heading to work.

At the moment (you may have noticed) temperatures around the country are hovering just above zero.

Tomorrow, however, will be milder than of late — highs of up to 11 degrees. It’ll be blustery though… especially in the north and west.

In short, avoid the hills of Donegal over the next 48 hours or so.

    @Ciaran Kehoe: Racist are you fu€k!ng kidding me. Your talking to irish man born in uk who has lived in usa. And believe me I have gotten more greaf from my own kin than I did from brits or yanks. But lets be clear I believe that anyone that isn’t irish causing trouble should be kicked out as I do any Irish living in other countries, if they are booted out should be sent home although if there plane found it’s plane landed in Siberia it wouldn’t be worst thing to happen.

    @ Kieran this has f*ck all to do with Islam! Gee you must see Islam in everything, this article is about ram raiders… Did you need read the article?
    Stop hyping up the threat of Islamic extremism, it’s all hype and the media are just as much to blame for hyping it up and the extremists themselves

    With several prior convictions for theft in Holland and Norway, how or why was he ever allowed into Ireland? Seriously searching for an answer to this simple question.

    How about a worldwide rule that criminals are not allowed to travel?

    It would help to stop people making the choice to become a criminal.

    @Scundered: He wouldn’t get into Australia or Canada anyway based on the border security shows I’ve seen.
    Likewise he probably wouldn’t get into the uk once they brexit and start to pull up the plank..
