He said that a cold Arctic air flow between areas of low pressure to the northeast and high pressure to the southwest is streaming down at this time of year, so it is "only natural that some of those will fall as sleet or snow at times." Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Murphy said it will be quite cold again tonight and temperatures will drop down as low as -4C in places, with rain and sleet developing in west Munster, and there will be some fog as well. The rest of the week will be very cold, with some dense fog in places with rain gradually making its way in by Friday morning and then there will be milder air for the weekend, he said. Met Éireann meteorologist Gerry Murphy said any showers this morning could be of sleet and snow, although as the day goes on showers will be predominantly of rain and sleet. In Northern Ireland, the UK Met Office also has a Yellow snow and ice warning in place for the six counties.

Weather: Snow and ice shuts schools for a second day (BBC News)

More than twenty schools across Northern Ireland are shut, with the north west the worst affected.

"It's very clear that it has been a while since we have all had to think about how we drive when it is snowy and there were a lot of cars being abandoned - there was one particular hill I had to drive up and the four cars in front of me did not get up that hill and had to leave their cars and vans." "Snow may be heaviest in the north, but right down to the south of the province and to the west, it is still very icy anyway, so please everyone take extra care if you have to travel," he said. "They have been working in shifts almost continually over the past couple of days, in many areas to try and keep the main road network open and passable, but it is fair to say that the situation does remain difficult, and the road temperatures are currently below freezing almost everywhere." He said despite the service's best efforts "you can't guarantee that roads are free of snow and ice at all times". He said "many of the drivers have been facing heavy snow showers along their routes". The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said salting had been carried out across the "entire scheduled network" on Tuesday evening and again overnight in the early hours of Wednesday.

But West Cork gave Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise a run for its money as the lads managed to get some great downhill action, making a line from the radio transmitter station down to the bottom of the 1,755ft hill. Branded the lads' 'West Cork Ski Tour,' they were out yesterday morning to enjoy the weather and captured some fantastic scenery of a snow-capped Bantry - if you squint, you could nearly mistake it for Val-d'Isere.
