TEMPERATURES will plummet across Ireland from tonight as an Arctic air mass is set to bring significant snow as well as severe frost and ice to the nation.

In a forecast issued today, Met Éireann warned of the possibility of significant snowfall over the weekend followed by the arrival of “an arctic air mass” which “will bring bitterly cold conditions next week”.

“There’ll be treacherous conditions with some significant accumulations of lying snow along with widespread severe frost and ice,” they confirmed.

A nationwide status yellow low temperature and ice warning has been issued today which will come into effect for the entire country from 6pm this evening.

It warns that the weather will turn “very cold with widespread frost and ice as temperatures fall to -3 degrees or below in many areas”.
