    Motorists are being advised to drive with extreme care this evening and over the coming few days - as icy conditions are expected to hit the country.

    Snow and sleet has already started to fall in parts of the country this morning with wintry showers expected to continue for much of the day.

    However, Met Eireann says only a small about of snow will fall but temperatures will drop to as low as minus four degrees tonight.

    only small amount of snow ?

    Are they not just hedging their bets? In the end of the day there's no point giving out early warnings if a lot of them will turn out to be wrong. Most people won't believe the warnings after a while so I suppose by guaranteeing the warnings are as accurate as possible they preserve their effectiveness?

    That's my thinking anyway.
    Yes.As frustrating as it is for us posters here,it's an irish way of doing things.
    Usually at the 11th hour,if necessary ,warnings are issued.
    Yesterdays forecasts of cover only probable on mountain tops so close to the event was ridiculous though,more ridiculous than usual.

    Next risk after that is coastal snow showers in east co cork,drifting southwestwards.
    Whether these reach cork city is impossible to assess,it would not surprise me.
    In theory,the risk is higher in places like youghal and middleton and obviously further north of there into co waterford overnight and into tomorrow.

    I assume Cobh is in there aswell?

    You should be grand, any Snow is unlikely to amount to much before evening.

    I see that some people are saying that high winds will have the potential to limited the number of streamers coming off the Irish Sea. Why is this?

    I will be up the 3Rock and Tickknock tomorrow morning for a photo opportunity. If we get a nice bit of snow this will be the third time we have had pleasing amounts of snow this year. Is the 3Rock and Dublin/ Wicklow hills Ireland's snow capital?

    What can I say? People like to see posts about snowstorms and up to 30cm of snow etc. so obviously they won't be happy when they see posts about more realistic expectations.
