A NATIONAL SNOW-ice warning remains in place this evening, with downfalls expected until tomorrow afternoon.
Met Éireann said accumulations are most likely in parts of the west and north of the country.
This was the scene outside TheJournal.ie HQ earlier today:
‘Barnland Princess Mindy’ seemed to be enjoying her cosy Sunday in watching the white flakes coming down…
According to Met Éireann:
A cold airmass from Canada bringing snow showers over the next couple of days. In the West and North, several cms accumulation over hills with a few cms at low levels likely. Slight accumulations possible elsewhere. Icy patches.
AA Roadwatch is urging drivers to take care, with “treacherous” conditions in some places.
Looking ahead – despite the fact that spring officially begins today (at least, according to some people) – we’ll have to endure a fair few wintry showers in the days and nights to come.
It will be a “very cold” night according to Met Éireann, with occasional hail, sleet and snow showers in western and northern counties, and some accumulations likely.
The sleet and snow showers will be more scattered elsewhere, and we’ll have some frost and ice patches by morning.
While tomorrow will be mostly dry in some parts of the east and the Midlands – heavy rain, hail, sleet and snow showers will spread from the west in the afternoon.
There’ll also be isolated thunder storms.
We’ll have similar conditions on Monday night. On Tuesday, we’ll have “fairly widespread wintry showers of rain, hail, sleet and snow” in a gale force west/north-west wind.
By mid-week, that wintry weather will die off a little.
And there appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel, heading into the weekend.
Latest indications suggest milder weather and it will be mostly dry and bright with sunny spells especially in southern and eastern areas.
Could it be?…

I was hoping it wouldn’t be true about Bill but my hope is slowly fading.
Maybe he isn’t commenting so that trial by media can kick off and he can then claim that he has no chance of getting a fair trial?
Why is this not a race issue,? All the victims so.far are white, if it was a white male and the victims were black, the riots would be in full swing
Bernard – we do not know all the victims yet as it would seem there are more to come forward.
In all fairness, most women in the US are white, so if you’re going to go out and rape a load of random women, statistically speaking, they’ll probably be white.
This analysis is inexplicably omitted from most introductory stats courses.
Most U.S. Women are white? Where’d you get that statistic?
Without knowing the actual figures, there really isn’t any doubt that the majority of people (and therefore presumably women) in the US are white. And that stands even if you exclude hispanic white people (which I wouldn’t).
Brian- It’s only from Wikipedia, cause I’m not arsed getting a better source but whatevs. It mentions the US census.
“White Americans are the racial majority, with a 77.7% share of the U.S. population, according to the 2013 U.S. Census. Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to 17.1% of the population, making up the largest minority. African Americans are the largest racial minority, amounting to 13.2% of the population. The White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 62.6% of the nation’s total.”
I’m starting to get confused with my maths now actually, and I’m not sure that I’m right. =/ Too many numbers.
Not looking good Bill
Not looking good indeed
Ghost dad Janice,it was ghost dad.
Nor is Janice these days – ‘twould be like sleeping with Steven Tyler …
Was he too good to be true I wonder?.
He always looked so smug. Does this make him a rapist?. Janet Dickinson not too stable herself.
Only time will tell.
Of course Mary, I totally forgot that only well adjusted stable people get raped. People who are not too stable never do. And no looking smug does not make you a rapist.
“He always looked so smug. Does this make him a rapist?”
No – pretty sure it’s raping that makes someone a rapist.
“Janet Dickinson not too stable herself.”
Ah, of course! I forgot that only stable people get raped. Amazing point.
It’s hard to doubt that many victims and I can well believe it’s true but that’s for a court to decide, kinda weird though that in his previous comedy gigs he joked about drugging women to rape them, guess art imitates life or vice versa!

Bill Cosby – Spanish Fly: http://youtu.be/LAorIG6MZnc
The passage of time alone would have made that sound very off-colour, but wow – it REALLY sounds bad now. Ew.
It’s a bit like that time Rolf Harris turned out to have recorded a video of the song “My Body’s Nobody’s Body But Mine” with a bunch of kids. Only not _quite_ as ironic.
Janice Dickinson didn’t even know which one of her lovers was the father of her baby, that tells us all we need to know.
Does it? How so?
So it’s ok for her to be raped?
She’s a fame hungry tramp. See I’m a celebrity series one.
You say rape, I say surprise.
It certainly wasn’t series one of I’m a celebrity
Fact, have you got a riddle for us by any chance?
Disgusting comment fact. Shame on you.
She was a top model in the earlier years and she was on america’ s next top model as a judge .
Stop feeding the troll guys, FFS.
I always thought Lisa Bonet looked uncomfortable in his company on the Cosby Show ….
Do not look at Angel Heart Pontius – it will make you feel oh so old !
Quit talking dung will ya.
Alex Ferguson is next. Tick Tock.
Libellous to say the least. In a couple of years you’d get 5 years for that
he didn’t give an address – how many Mr. Ferguson’s on the Planet …loads of them !
@the truth – there is no libel any more
“there is no libel any more”
What on earth is that supposed to mean?
He’s the Jimmy saville of nbc .
I can remember that he was always a bit too touchy feely with that girl that played his daughter. From what I can remember she fits the profile of his type of victim.
As in she was female.
no young and innocent looking and over the top pretty
It is time for Bill to pay the bill.
Cosby not payin the bill he’s gonna go to jail!
Sheeeeee and I thought I was alone…….
Anyone who makes a show as terrible as the Cosby Show, is obviously a deviant of some sort. Terrible, terrible show.
@thetruth: What part of my comment is ‘libellous’? Why could I go to jail? I didn’t threaten anyone.
Are you offended? Go tell your mammy.
Your understanding of libel is comparable to your understanding of “Reply” buttons.
Zzźing well said zozzy
I like this new Zozzy guy.
I never knew another one my childhood Heroes masked in sleaze
Is this a riddle?
have your say
