Met Éireann warns of ‘significant snow’, as temperatures set to drop to -5 on Saturday

The saga continues.

We're all pretty aware that it's baltic out today, right? There's a fierce nip in the air, and according to Met Éireann, that nip is going nowhere. The national forecasters have updated their yellow weather warning again today, and it's pretty much what we already know. It's cold. Get used to it lads. The update warns that the weekend is set to be extremely cold. "Friday: Very cold with moderate north or northeast breezes bringing some wintry showers to exposed coastal areas, mainly eastern and also parts of the northwest and west coasts. But most other areas, especially inland parts will be dry with spells of winter sunshine. Very little in the way of a thaw, with top temperatures generally 2 to 4 C., but up to 6 C., in some Atlantic coastal districts."

"Bitterly cold overnight, with a severe frost and icy conditions. Lows of -2 to -4 C., generally, but lower over snow fields and perhaps around zero in some Atlantic coastal districts. Many places will be dry, but a few wintry showers are likely to affect coastal areas exposed to the moderate to fresh northerly breeze." "Saturday: Frost and ice clearing slowly in bright fairly sunny weather. A few light wintry flurries in coastal areas exposed to the moderate north to northwest breezes but most places dry. Top afternoon temperature 5 to 7 C., best in Atlantic coastal fringes." "Bitterly cold overnight with lows of -3 to -5 C., generally, but colder over snow fields. There will be a widespread severe frost overnight, with icy roads and some freezing fog can be expected also." If you're heading to the rugby on Saturday, dear GOD wear thermals.
