A status red snow-ice warning will remain in place for Munster, Leinster and Galway until 6pm. A status orange snow-ice warning will be in place for Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo until 6pm.

Readers have been capturing great shots of scenes from different parts of the country, with the east most affected by the snow. People have been advised to exercise caution if they need to go outdoors; please only take photos if it’s safe to do so.

You can send your images to pictures@thejournal.ie. Thanks to all the readers who have already done this.
