Status Yellow snow/ice warning for nine counties as temperatures set to drop below freezing

The warning is in place across the north and north-west.

A STATUS YELLOW snow/ice warning is in place for nine counties across the north and north-west. 

The warning has been issued by both Met Éireann and the Met Office and covers Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo as well as Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry. 

The weather warning comes into effect from 5pm for the three counties in the north-west and from 6pm for the six counties in Northern Ireland. Both warnings are valid overnight until tomorrow morning.  

The forecast for the region is for wintry showers and icy conditions tonight with Met Éireann saying that temperatures could drop to between -1 and +2 degrees. 

Tomorrow will see a cold and frosty start across northern areas with temperatures of between 4 to 7 degrees. 

Across the rest of the country frost and icy patches are possible tomorrow with sleet and snow showers mainly affecting the northwest. 

Showers will be most frequent in Connacht and Ulster where some will continue to fall as sleet or possibly snow, mainly on hills.

    I’m glad to see no one has made what they presumably believe to be a hilarious and original comment about eating the yellow snow as always happens with stories about this type of warning. Maybe we’ve been spared this time. Not a snowball’s chance in hell to use another cliched expression…

    @Darren Callaghan: Errrrr… Yes, I know. That was quite deliberate on my part. I fully expected to see a reference to eating the yellow snow as soon as the article appeared and waited until someone had commented on same to post my comment, which was essentially me taking the stuff that makes the snow yellow out of their comment. I don’t think you’ve grasped that somehow. Oh, and before I go remember this sage advice just in case you’ve never heard it before – ‘don’t eat the yellow snow’…
