Around 2cm or 3cm of snow fell in some parts of the country, with larger amounts on high ground.
It will stay cold and windy with highs of 4 to 8 degrees, with fresh to strong north to northeast winds.
The weather will remain generally dry and bright across much of Connacht and Ulster for the day.
Further outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow in the east and south of the country tonight. Clearer skies elsewhere will lead to a widespread frost. Lowest temperatures of 0 to 4 degrees in blustery northeasterly winds.
