Does anyone know if we are set for more bad weather like before Christmas in the next few days?

Outlook

Apart from a few showers on northern coasts, Wednesday night will be cold and mostly dry with clear spells, patches of fog and a sharp frost. Lowest temperatures of 0 to -4 degrees. Thursday will be cold and dry with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 1 to 4 degrees. A sharp frost will develop over much of the country on Thursday night. A band of rain will develop in the southwest early in the night and gradually spread northwards to all areas overnight and through Friday morning. At the moment it looks like it will fall as sleet and snow over much of the country and there could be up to 10 cm of snow in many areas with possible drifting due to fresh, gusty easterly winds. Further precipitation during Friday will fall mainly as rain over Leinster and Munster. Friday night will be mostly dry and cold with frost developing. Snow will lie in many areas and icy stretches will develop on roads. Saturday will be less cold with temperatures of about 2 to 5 degrees. Showers of rain and sleet will mainly affect western and northern areas and will fall as snow in places during Saturday night. There'll be further wintry showers on Sunday. Over the weekend, the nights will be cold and frosty.

Yes - there was!! clear through Bofeenaun - but just when the climb started - the road was white. I was the sole set of tracks going up - twas 06.30. Decided (as much as a muddled coldy head decides at that hour!!) to press on. Only JUST made it to the top. Light sprinkling all the way into Castlebar. Just lethal as it was icy underneath and frozen again on top. Thankfully the weekend has finally arrived!
