A snow and ice warning is in place across the entire country.
The yellow warning was valid from 10pm last night and will last until midday today. However Dublin is not expected to see much of the white stuff.
Yesterday there were accumulations of snow in the southwest, west and north.

Met Éireann is warning of hazardous conditions throughout the morning due to compacted snow and ice in affected areas.
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather says conditions will be particularly poor in some parts of the country;
"Some heavy snow showers appeared over Connacht and Ulster especially, and a little further inland also but that was followed then by a drop in temperatures which is leading to some very icy conditions this morning."
Forecast
A cold and frosty start in Dublin this morning. It will be a generally dry day with isolated showers, which may turn wintry on higher ground, according to Met Éireann. Highest temperatures of 5 or 6 degrees.
Temperatures will drop back to zero in the capital tonight. However it will become milder from tomorrow with temperatures of up to 9 degrees.
