BREAKING: Motorists asked to be extremely careful this morning as black ice is widespread




Motorists are asked to be extremely careful on the roads throughout the day and tonight as freezing weather continues in Ireland for the rest of the week, with a yellow snow and ice condition warning being issued for the whole of the country today.

The warning has come into effect last evening and will be in place until at least 11pm Thursday, with sleet and snow spreading northwards across Ireland, with easterly winds increasing.

Met Eireann said snow accumulation is expected in many areas as well as icy conditions causing dangerous driving conditions, poor visibility and potential travel disruptions, reports RTE.

A yellow snow-snow condition alert is in effect for Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan from 11am tomorrow until 7am Saturday, with hail and snow clearing eastwards and further snow accumulations expected.

People are advised to share this with your friends, particularly those who will be on the road this morning and tonight.
