Are blizzards coming to Ireland?
The Irish Meteorological Service, Met Éireann, has issued a status yellow snow-ice warning for Ireland.
The warning is in place from 6pm on Saturday, January 14th, until 12pm on Sunday, January 15th.
Met Éireann has said that "significant" snow accumulations are possible in some areas, with up to 5cm of snow expected in places.
The warning also warns of icy conditions on roads and footpaths.
The snow is expected to arrive in Ireland on Saturday evening, with the heaviest snow expected to fall in the west and northwest of the country.
The snow is expected to continue to fall on Sunday, with further accumulations possible.
Met Éireann has warned that the snow and ice could lead to travel disruption, and is advising people to take precautions.
The warning comes as Ireland is set to experience a cold snap, with temperatures dropping to as low as -4 degrees Celsius in some areas.
The cold snap is expected to last for several days, and is likely to bring further snow and ice to Ireland.
