Wearing your thermals? You should be, it's Baltic out there today

It’s see your breath sort of weather.

WE HOPE YOU had the electric blanket set up for last night, as temperatures plummeted to -7 Celsius in some areas of Ireland.

Temperatures are expected to be between 2 and 4 degrees at best in the east and north, but a little higher in the west and south today.

While Irish weather can be pretty brutal some times, despite the cold, it can still be pretty beautiful.

This morning is what is described as a beautiful frosty morning on the Emerald Isle, with many of you taking out the cameras to capture the scenes around the country.

So grab the hat, scarf, the thermal undies and head out for a nice walk. Enjoy!

    You know if a road is gritted and then it freezes, the grit is useless.

    Plus, it’s not really that bad anywhere to be whipping out gritting trucks. It’s a tad frosty.

    Tis lovely to look at but I have to venture out now and I’m not so happy. I dislike icy patches on roads as they make me nervous. My older sibs and father all had no bother driving on ice as they had loads of practise in their younger days but we don’t get it often enough for me to be comfortable driving on icy roads. Big chicken me .
