SNOW AND ICE are widespread across the country this morning with further snowfall forecast for the day ahead.
It’s expected in parts of Leinster and in the north and east of Munster – especially on high ground.
Many people have woken to the snow this morning, here are some photos we received from across the country.
These two photos show quite the scene at Cashel in Tipperary.
Upperchurch village in the Tipperary hills certainly hasn’t escaped the elements.
We also got sent in these snow filled photos from Waterford (with a very cute dog included for good measure).
This housing estate in Portlaoise is covered in snow.
And Castle Durrow in Laois has posted these beautiful photos from the estate.
The view on the train from Dublin to Cork looked like a Christmas scene outside Portlaoise.
Meanwhile, the view from a train near Enfield, Meath looked equally festive – if it wasn’t March.
Hollyhill in Cork is also looking like a winter wonderland.
There was also plenty of the white stuff in Summerhill in Meath.
This was Carbury in Kildare at around 7.30 this morning.
These two jokers are taking full advantage of the snow in Allenwood, Kildare. We’re informed that they got up at 6.30 to make this snowman before school. Fair play.
It was also the first time seeing snow for some little people in Tipperary – and it looks like they approve.

Robots taking are jobs again. Down with robots.
Those robot workers have robot families too you know!
Besides, it won’t be long before our fancy, pensioned robots find themselves replaced by cheaper foreign robots.
Probably only replacing Scambridge “interns” anyway
They took our jobbbbbs!
Day tik er jeerbs

It’s already working here, apartments in Carrick on Shannon operate this way, great success, cheap but also very clean. Hotels in European cities operate this way too but with no reception at all, it’s grand until there is a problem with the code to collect the key and then it’s not so cool!
And Skynet gets a little bit more real every day
Some Premier Inns have a similar system. You put the card you booked with in the machine and your keys are given like a ticket machine when the booking is confirmed.
Yeah the Premier Inn kiosks are very good. Used them at the new Premier Inn at Heathrow a couple of years ago…. It felt great to use it, as the queue at the check in desk was massive! (Heineken Cup Final Weekend 2012, hotel full of supporters)…
Pity the beds in premier inns are covered in plastic like bed sheets and are really uncomfortable
Didn’t find anything at all wrong with them. Stayed in them a few times and the bed has always been really comfy…
In common use on European motorway hotels/motels.
Safe as no cash is kept and staff won’t be threatened.
“staff won’t be threatened.”
Or employed.
Can A&Es do the same? I’m in bed here, my meniscus is gone completely, waiting on a taxi to go to A&E, wouldn’t it be great if i could book in and get the taxi a few minutes before my name was called.
Free advertising for Jury’s? Slow or no news day?
Ah no, a report on a tech development that is consumer friendly
Another human to human contact that will disappear in time….in 50 years time how much human interaction will there be? And with less people needed to do jobs and the worlds population growing, what will everybody do?
