As the entire country prepares to ease back into work after the Christmas holidays, it seems the Irish weather has a different idea.

The mild but chilly weather has made way for a status orange weather alert courtesy of Storm Eleanor.

The orange alert is in place for Leinster, Munster and Galway, with a status yellow alert for the rest of the country.

The storm will be responsible for 130km/ph winds which began battering the country this morning.

'Southwest to west winds of mean speeds 65 to 80 km/h, gusting to 110 to 130 km/h are expected' say Met Eireann.

A wind warning is in place for Dublin, Galway, Clare, Carlow, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Wicklow, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, Limerick and Tipperary.

The storm is set to move off into the Atlantic later this afternoon, but conditions will remain stormy until 9pm tonight when the weather warning is due to be lifted.

We just missed having a white Christmas this year, if Met Eireann's latest revelations come true. 

The Irish metrological service has predicted that many areas if Ireland can expect sleet and snow today, after temperatures plummeted tom -4 last night.

'There'll be spells of sunshine today with scattered wintry showers.'

'Some showers will be heavy, leading to accumulations of snow on mountains and at times to lower levels.'

'The showers will be most frequent in the north and west and down through the midlands.'

'They'll become isolated in the evening.'

The wintry weather is expected to continue into the last days of 2017. 

Fog, rain and sleet are all expected for the remainder of the week.

Dreaming of a white Christmas? Well, all hope is not lost. 

Temperatures over the last few days have been unseasonably mild for this time of year, however, it looks like that could all be about to change as Met Éireann warn of a cold and wet Christmas day. 

The day will start off relatively mild with highs of around four to seven degrees, eventually turning cold and frosty as the evening rolls in, with a risk of sleet and snow showers in the west. 

Overnight lows of minus one to two degrees will bring a risk of ice on untreated surfaces. 

"Cold and frosty overnight with clear spells and scattered showers, a few of them heavy with hail and with wintry falls over high ground, these chiefly confined to Atlantic coastal counties," Met Éireann said. 

St. Stephen's day will see highs of just three to six degrees, with heavy rain expected to push in off the Atlantic. 

Good thing we plan to spend the day watching movies and eating turkey sandwiches.

This week's weather has been pretty damn rough, and it sounds like today is going to be an amalgamation of everything the last few days has had to offer.

An update issued on Twitter by Met Éireann has warned the public that a mixture of hail, thunder, sleet and snow is imminent.

"Frequent blustery showers, today, some of them heavy and prolonged, with a risk of hail and thunder," read the tweet this morning.

"Showers of sleet and snow also, especially later this afternoon. Strong and gusty westerly winds, gale along west and southwest coasts."

The Met Éireann website points to a stormy night ahead, saying: "Windy tonight, with strong and gusty westerly winds, and gales or strong gales at sea, producing large waves along Atlantic coast."

"Scattered showers will continue, interspersed with clear intervals. Some of the showers will be wintry, especially over high ground, with an ongoing risk of thunder."

With minimum temperatures of 0 to plus 4 degrees Celsius, with a risk of frost in sheltered spots, it's definitely a night for the open fire.

Wrap up warm – the cold weather isn't going anywhere just yet.

Commuters are urged to take extreme care this morning as a low temperature warning remains in place across the country.

Last night saw temperatures drop to as low a minus four degrees Celsius in some places, resulting in widespread frost and treacherous conditions.

The cold weather looks set to continue today with maximum temperatures ranging from three to seven degrees.

Showers of sleet and hill snow are also expected, particularly in parts of the north.

Tonight will be mainly dry in the midlands and eastern parts of the country, though scattered showers will become widespread by morning.

Temperatures will become slightly milder overnight with highs of one to five degrees Celsius.

In case you hadn't been outside in days, Ireland has been experiencing a bout of weather with only one word to describe it – baltic. 

Unfortunately, the cold snap is here for the foreseeable future, and it's set to get colder. 

Today, temperatures will sit at around 6 degrees, and we can expect a moderate breeze. 

 Asd for tonight, things are set to get frosty.

'It will be cold with lowest temperatures between -1 and +1 degree leading to frost and icy patches as northerly winds decrease light to moderate but remain fresh near the coast.'

Some places will see lows of -2 degrees. 

Tomorrow will also be cold, with highest temperatures of 5-7 degrees. 

The rest of the week is set to see further low temperatures as well as rain showers in many parts.

However, by Friday we should see rainier weather with slightly higher temperatures. Not sure if we'd rather have the rain or the cold tbh.

If our reddened cheeks and numb fingers were anything to go by when we arrived into the office this morning, winter has officially arrived.

And, unsurprisingly, it's not going anywhere fast.

According to the good folk at Met Éireann, it's a weekend for fluffy socks, duvet forts and gallons of alcohol-infused hot chocolate.

Tonight will see the arrival of frost which will become severe as the night progresses, with temperatures dipping as low as -3 degrees.

Friday will be a cold, breezy day, but may be broken up with some bright spells and showers. Some of these showers will, however, carry hail, sleet and snow with a slight risk of a thundery burst too.

Saturday will kick off with a cold, frosty and icy wake-up call and continue throughout the day and into the night, with lows of -2 degrees.

Thankfully, Sunday makes way for some warmer spells, with temperatures reaching 9 degrees as the frost and ice clears.

Ladies, it's a weekend for the couch.

If you still haven't gotten that huge winter coat down from the attic, now would be the time.

According to Met Eireann, the weather is about to take a turn for the worse, with temperatures plummeting and widespread rainfall across the country.

Last night saw heavy rainfall across the country, which today brings risks of localised flooding. 

Today could see sleet falling on colder counties, as the weather drops to as low as 3 degrees.

Temperatures are set to hit 0 degrees tonight, with frost being a risk to sheltered areas.

'A few sleet and snow flurries possible over the hills and mountains of the north and northwest,' says Met Eireann.

'Frost too, mainly for sheltered areas.'

'Lowest temperatures of 0 to 3 degrees Celsius.'

A status yellow rain warning will remain in place until tonight for Munster and Leinster.

Just when you thought the bitterly cold temperatures might hold off for another week or two, Met Éireann forecast a something called a “polar low.”

And while we might not be trained meteorologists, we're going to take a wild guess and say that doesn't sound good.

An area of low pressure looks set to bring wintery showers over hills and mountains on Wednesday night, with temperatures ranging form just zero to three degrees.

Thursday will be another cold day with snow expected to fall over mountainous areas. Daytime temperatures will range from four to eight degrees, dropping to between minus two and plus three overnight.

It's a similar story for Friday, though showers will be confined to northern and western coast, with other areas expected to stay dry with sunny spells.

According to Met Éireann, the further outlook is for continued cold weather with showers, which can only mean one thing – winter 2017 has officially arrived.

As the last few fireworks light up the sky and the Christmas sections in shops getting bigger by the day, it's safe to say that winter 2017 is officially here.

And with that, there is a definite chill in the air as temperatures look set to plummet over the weekend.

Tonight will see temperatures drop to lows of one to five degrees, with gusty northwest winds set for the Atlantic coasts.

Tomorrow will be a cool but bright day with sunny spells as well as the odd shower over the northern half of the country. Highs of seven to 11 degrees.

Sunday night will see temperatures drop back to between one and five degrees once again, with some grass frost expected for the eastern half of the country.

It's a similar story for the rest of the week, with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers.

Wrap up warm, ladies. It looks like we're in for a cold few months.
