A Status Yellow Snow-Ice warning for Donegal has come into effect and road users are advised to expect ‘hazardous travel conditions’.
The Met Éireann weather alert became active at 6pm and will remain in place until 11am tomorrow.
It comes less than an hour after Donegal County Council issued a ‘freezing rain alert’, which will also be in effect until 11am on Sunday.
Wintry showers are forecast along with some snow accumulations, sharp or severe frost and ice. Possible impacts will also include poor visibility. Other affected areas are Cavan, Monaghan, Connacht and Louth.
Council gritters were out on all winter maintenance routes from 2pm, however, some minor roads remain in an icy condition.
The UK Met Office also issued weather alerts for counties in Northern Ireland, with the forecaster warning “snow and ice has the potential to cause disruption to travel in places throughout the weekend and into Monday morning”.
