Low temperature weather warning remains in place as motorists urged to take care on the roads

Temperatures dipped below freezing last night.

A STATUS YELLOW weather warning remains in place for most of the country this morning as temperatures dipped below freezing in several counties overnight. 

Met Éireann said that the status yellow warning for 22 counties will remain in place until 10am this morning. The only counties to which the warning does not apply are Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford.

Despite the freezing cold start to today, the national forecaster predicts that temperatures could reach as high as nine degrees today and that we’re also in for a relatively dry today. 

The forecast reads: “A cold start today with frost and patches of freezing fog slow to clear in places, leading to difficult driving conditions.

“A dry and sunny day is expected with highest temperatures generally 6 to 9 degrees, a good deal lower where fog lingers into the afternoon. Light variable winds will back southeasterly later in the day and freshen along Atlantic coasts.”

Met Éireann has forecast that conditions will become milder as the week goes on. Rain is expected later in the week.

    Best passwords take your home town or similar word that is at least 6 digits long and substitute some of the letters for similar looking figures or grammatical symbols. ie. Dublin town = D¿8|!■ 70₩#

    One of the great things about learning to write code is that you realise that there is no such thing as a personal password …..

    Yes, I would like to know about the iPad as I received an iPad for a present some while back. I have read about various attacks on information sites and on Apple too.
    I know no-one is keen to say they are not safe but I think a good dose of reality for both firms and users may help with taking measures regularly.
    I am always very grateful for advice on here and do my best to follow,up regularly.
