Meanwhile, there is bad news for anyone who was hoping to see snow this Christmas as it’s looking unlikely for Ireland in the weeks leading up to 25 December.
Snow has been hitting parts of the UK over the last number of days as the temperature plummets and many saw it as a sign that a white Christmas could be on the horizon for Ireland.
However, despite some frost and patchy ice developing over the last few days, conditions are set to be mild with Met Éireann not anticipating snow making its way over to the country in the next few weeks.
