Speaking on RTE Radio One’s morning Ireland, Evelyn Cusack of Met Éireann issued a stark warning about snow fall levels across the country, starting on Tuesday evening.
She said: "On Tuesday night a cold front will move across the Irish Sea, starting off as rain and then turning increasingly to snow.
"By Wednesday morning there is likely to be a fair amount of snow an eastern coastal counties.”

Cusack also said on Wednesday evening and night and Thursday morning “snow showers will come in from the Irish Sea but not so many in the west but further east there will be a higher deposit of snow”.
Dynamic snow weather system
She said “the high danger area for countrywide will be Thursday evening, Thursday night and Friday morning. As a dynamic snow weather system with a lot of precipitation is pushing up from the bay of Biscay and hits Ireland, there is high risk of some very heavy snow.”
She also warned of easterly gales which will bring blizzard-like conditions, with powdery snow.
Cusack went on to say that wind chill will be of concern to farmers as it will affect animals such as lambs and early spring growth will be totally stopped this week.
