Similarly, forecasts of snow and ice are in place for Connaught, Clare, Cavan, Cork, Limerick, Kerry and Tipperary. There are also warnings of icy patches that for locations that escape snow showers.
It wouldn't be the first time snow has fallen in January, indeed a lot of you may remember a very white March we had a few years ago!
It looks set to be a stormy and snowy week ahead so make sure you wrap up warm and take extra care on the roads.
