A Status Yellow Warning For Snow And Ice Remains In Place For Cork And The Entire Country
The warning is in place until 11 o'clock this morning
Hail, sleet and snow are expected to fall, especially on high ground, with icy stretches on roads and footpaths.
Drivers are being reminded to reduce their speed and beware of places where ice might form.
