Temperatures plunged close to minus 5C as snowfalls reached up to 20cm in some parts of Munster and Connacht, amid warnings that Storm Bert will now strike Ireland on Friday evening.
Met Éireann warned that Ireland will just be recovering from the Arctic-snap when the second Atlantic storm of the season arrives, with heavy rainfall and wind gusts up to 110kph.
A Status Yellow wind and rain warning was issued by Met Éireann, warning of localised flooding, fallen trees, and possible travel disruption due to Storm Bert.
The wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow will continue to impact the south and west of Ireland, with a bitterly cold night and lingering icy patches.
