Colder this week, some wintry/snow showers, widespread frost and ice.

To me this is textbook "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes" weather. It's cold and icy, yes, but also clear and gorgeous and once you've a decent coat, hat, gloves and most importantly, boots, you can stay out for hours in it.

I dunno wtf the ripped jeans, bare ankles and canvas runners brigade think they're at though.

And let's just all agree not to talk about the "You can have my shorts when you pry them off my cold, dead body" contingent. No idea what they're trying to prove.

Was -3.8 earlier in the evening, when sky was clear, fog rolled in and the temperature is now -1.1, still a grand night out there

You'll be the Boardsie I remember most from this cold snap, or what you said wasn't going to be any sort of cold or snap a few days ago...

Lovely to look at but the lack of gritting on roads is an issue, I will have great fun at 5:30am as I head for work.

Yeah was about this morning myself at that time, place was like an icerink, be careful!

Finner camp reporting snow at 11pm

Very cold out there

The 18z ECM rolling out now, it would be great to see the Cork snow shield broken with so much moisture from the south and some cold from further north, it's most probably not going to happen, but at this stage Cork really does deserve a belt of the #sneachta

It's a French website not so good i noticed myself :(

Electricity just went where I am on Northside of Cork City - not sure if if it’s one of these rolling blackouts or what! Woke up to our alarm beeping. Pretty hard frost outside.

-1.5 ,on the m50.. have to say main roads are fine

Thermometer on my heat pump is saying it’s 0C outside. Thick fog insulating us in Carlow I think.

There is no doubt its cold out there but its completely over the top the talk in the media about closing schools and meetings of the National Emergency Co-ordination Group etc. There is no national emergency regarding the weather and the media shouldnt be scare mongoring. I know a few people who are cancelling plans for today because of listening to the media - it ridiculous.

In most parts of the country its just frosty and roads are fine if you take your time. Very few areas have snow.

Also thank you to all who post here - I find the reports helpful. I find this forum gives more accurate info than ME!

Media now pushing a -10 agenda. When its obvious the snap is ending very soon. Disgraceful scare mongering.

Cold out this morning here

-3 but set to rise to 0 at about 10.

No ice or frost. All good on roads. Stay safe.

Fell below -7 sometime last night here and still currently - 6.3c. This is an intense spell of cold by any measure but it is curious how the models have continuously underestimated the low temps throughout since the start of this cold snap.

Severe cold snap in Ireland does not definitively mean blizzards.

It’s a cold intense period with 0c or below temps in the majority of the country sustained for almost a week. Some folks in here want to see sled dogs running past before they’ll accept it’s a cold snap.

Minister on the radio this morning saying we had snow in East Galway now I heard nothing about it or saw any post relating to that in fact most of the Country has been cloud free anyone know more.

heavy fog in cork city or at least the western part of it. Can’t even see the city or the south side from the north side. The roads and footpaths were grand once I got out of my park, which was iffy.

The roads are bad in my part of rural west Galway but I am loving this cold snap. There is something very refreshing waking up to a white winter wonderland day after day. Not surprised Athenry had -7 last night - the freezing fog was sharp. Worst road conditions of the cold snap for us.

If we don't have them now, we will never have them.

You sound disappointed
