TODAY IS SET to be another cold day, with sleet and heavy showers expected.
Met Éireann says it will be bright and breezy, with patches of frost and ice clearing.
There will be some sunny spells, but fairly widespread heavy showers.
These will be prolonged over parts of Ulster, north Leinster and Connacht, while some hail and sleet are likely over parts of Munster and south Leinster, with some snow on high ground this morning.
AA Roadwatch / TwitterMAYO: Snow has been reported on routes around Claremorris, Ballyhaunis and Charlestown. https://t.co/qvBPcgxUj8

Top temperatures will hit just four to seven degrees Celsius, but it’ll feel colder due to a westerly wind.
It’ll be cold tonight with winds easing a good deal.
The showers will be widespread and heavy at first with hail and sleet in a few places, but they will become more scattered and lighter later with long clear spells developing.
Lowest temperatures range from plus 2 to -2 Celsius, with a hard frost and some icy roads.
Is there snow where you are? You can send photos to tips@thejournal.ie.

So, so sick of this. Even my dogs are pi##ed off. Muck and filth, cold and wet.
I hear Spain is nice…
My weather app says its 3 but it “feels like” -2. So it’s -2 then.
Come on mother nature…have mercy on us…enough already
Mother, is having a time of the month episode and her hormones are raging.
Minus 6 this morning with me…
I’m off to live under the stairs
Thunder,lightening and hail just came out of nowhere at around 7am…
I suspect it was the sky…
Pretty sure it came out of the sky but I might be wrong
thunderbolt and lightning, very very fright’ning
God is angry and pissed, we need a sacrifice.
Couldn’t agree more 26th February 2016 !
On my way to sunny South Africa for some blue skies and Vitamin D.. Lots of it too.
Mind the step….
Enjoy
Don’t forget guncrime
Do you mean here in Dublin, Andrew?
AK 47′s and bad weather, what a great country.
Debi – South Africa’s gun crime is about 100 times the rate of Ireland, at least.
The comforting thing about the recent murders in Dublin is they made front page headlines. In many countries, they are an everyday occurance and may not even make the news.
I’m well aware of that, thx Cal. My husband I go back to SA every year and touch wood we have been very fortunate not to have experienced anything bad… As we are taking two Irish friends along with us this time around who have never experienced a wonderful and beautiful country such as South Africa, we hope it to be a memorable and happy holiday for everyone.
Lies again no snow As always
Yeah because if there is no snow in Dublin, there isn’t any anywhere.
It’s snowing here in Sligo though.
Dublin doesn’t get everything you know, Snow in the real capital as we speak.
Must be very depressing living in In Ireland with such relentless crappy weather.
The politicians make it worthwhile.
Me thinks weather will change for the better on Feb 26th 2016. !
I would definitely like to be that cat on a day like today.
Probably on catnip?
have your say
