PEOPLE ARE BEING urged to take care on the roads this morning as icy and snowy conditions have been reported in many parts of the country.
A Met Éireann Status Yellow snow/ice warning for the entire country remains in place until 10am this morning.
Today is set to be another cold today with frost and ice widespread this morning.
Scattered wintry showers will occur early on, but these will be mainly confined to the north and west by late morning, and clear most areas by the afternoon.
The highest temperatures will be between 4 and 8 degrees.
AA Roadwatch says that icy conditions have been reported in parts of Cavan, Longford, Offaly, Galway and Clare.
Snow showers, meanwhile, are causing wet and slippery conditions in Wicklow, Laois, Kildare and Donegal.
Motorists are urged to slow down and avoid any harsh acceleration or braking in these conditions.
Temperatures will dip below freezing in Connacht and Ulster this evening with lows further south of 2 to 5 degrees.
Looking further ahead, we’re set for a very unsettled few days with periods of heavy rain and strong winds.

I just saw to penguins walking past our gaff.
Just went on my ear. Why haven’t the councils gritted the roads and paths?
@Maria Hickey-Fagan: they do the main roads. They don’t care about anything else
@Maria Hickey-Fagan: I dont they have ever gritted paths?
@Maria Hickey-Fagan: Write a letter to your newly-elected TD.
@Spud Murphy: I live on a main road and there was more salt on last night’s chips.
@Paul Furey: they should. A lot of elderly people on my road who’d be walking to the shops or to 8am Mass and the spot where I fell was like an ice rink.
@Spud Murphy: they did not do all main roads last night , left them in a treacherous state this morning for commuters in the kildare area.
And people still say every year when February 1st hits that it’s spring .. it’s not until March 20th … February and first couple of weeks in March are always Ireland coldest
Malahide estuary was like an ice rink about an hour ago. Few close calls!
any you still have some idiots speeding and overtaking despite the warnings in place.
Brass monkey warning..1
