The dreaded Beast from the East weather event is almost upon us, bringing ‘disruptive snow’ and deep cold our way.
The national forecaster has been forced to issue a Yellow Alert for 15 counties as the extreme weather front approaches.
The warning affects all of Leinster, plus Cavan, Monaghan, and Donegal.
Freezing temperatures will descend upon Ireland from Monday on, giving rise to widespread hard frost and further snowfalls.
