Caution urged as snow and ice forecast < DAN DOONER
Road users in Roscommon and across the country have been advised to be prepared for hazardous driving conditions today. On Wednesday, Met Éireann issued a nationwide snow and ice warning which came into effect at 3 am this morning (Thursday). It will remain in place until 11 pm tonight. The warning comes as County Roscommon recorded the lowest overnight temperature in the country earlier this week – plummeting to -3.4 degrees on Monday night. Met Éireann has warned of possible hazardous driving conditions, travel disruption, and poor visibility on roads across the country. The
forecaster stated: “Rain, sleet, and snow will spread northwards across the country during Thursday, accompanied by strengthening easterly winds. Accumulations of snow are expected in many areas along with icy conditions”. A separate Status Yellow Low Temperature/Ice warning will also be in place for Ireland from 9 pm tonight until 10 am on Friday, with widespread icy stretches likely. The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is advising road users to prepare for hazardous driving conditions before embarking on any journeys. Motorists have been urged to slow down and watch out for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
