We have already received a nationwide snow and ice warning for the weekend, but it turns out that some counties are going to get it even rougher than the rest, as Met Éireann have issued a yellow status wind warning.

Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Kerry, and Limerick should expects that winds will reach average speeds of 50 to 65km/h and gusts of 90 to 110kmh, strongest in coastal areas.

This wind warning kicks in at 4am on Sunday morning, and remains in place until midnight.

Meanwhile, the nationwide snow and ice warning starts at 11pm tonight (Saturday), and will stay in effect until 6am on Monday morning.

Really, you should just sit in tonight and watch one of the movies on TV instead.
