A Status Orange warning for snow and ice has been issued for Tipperary and five other counties.
It’ll come into effect in the Premier, Kilkenny, Clare, Limerick, Wicklow and Carlow from 5pm tomorrow evening for 24 hours.
The majority of the country will be under a Status Yellow snow and ice warning from the same time, with a separate rain and snow alert kicking in for Cork and Kerry tomorrow at 1pm.
Met Éireann is forecasting temperatures could drop to minus 12 degrees in some areas during the cold snap.
Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather, says there will be significant snowfall.
“In general the midlands looks to be the area likely to see the most disruptive snow. Where it does stay as snow – especially on higher grounds in the midlands – you are looking at over 20 to 30 centimetres of snow. Not something we would see very often in Ireland.”
