The warning applies to all five counties in Connacht as well as Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Dublin, Louth and Wicklow is valid from 8pm tonight until 1oam on Thursday morning. https://twitter.com/MetEireann/status/1227574340327219205 The status yellow warning advises that it will be 'icy in parts tonight with wintry outbreaks. Some snow accumulations possible before morning, mainly across the north and on higher ground elsewhere.' Looking further ahead, Met Eireann is monitoring the approach of Storm Dennis which is due to arrive in Ireland this weekend. Whatever the case, it looks like a few more days of miserable weather lie ahead.
