Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

While many of us thought February was supposed to introduce us to the Spring season, this year is proving slightly different, with it seemingly being smack in the middle of winter at the moment. The last few weeks have seen a sharp cold snap circulating around the country, while it has deteriorated substantially in recent days. Stormy conditions which began in Russia have gradually moved through Europe and reaching the UK and Ireland. The last few days have seen sleet, rain, and yes...snow. While Connacht has had a few bouts of snow in recent weeks, it finally made its way to Cork.

So, while it may be good to enjoy the snow and take it in for a while, we do still need to be aware of the severity of the cold outside, so wrap up. And also drive safe, as roads can prove hazardous.

Motorists are being advised to take extra care when driving as road conditions remain treacherous in many parts.

Around the country drivers must contend with snow, slushy and slippery roads and some flooding following severe weather overnight.
