winter weather

Whether you were woken up at 5am by the sound of your wheelie bin flinging itself down the road, or whether your 30-minute commute took twice as long, you've probably experienced the wrath of Storm Jonas in some way this morning.

Ireland's latest bout of winter weather is a killer one, with galeforce winds and lashing rain battering the country all night. And while it is – for once – surprisingly mild, all that means is we're sweating buckets inside our coats while getting pelted by rain.

Not a good start to the day. But if you think you're having a bad morning, there's always someone on Twitter having a worse one.

Here are a few of this morning's most stressed-out victims…

1. This girl, who dared do her make-up and hair before venturing outside

 

2. This lad, who would rather six feet of snow over this MADNESS any day 

 

3. This anti-Jonas Brothers commuter 

 

4. This bus stop victim

 

5. This girl, who's just had her entire day ruined

 

6. This woman who's hoping we can make amends

 

7. This student who's simply had enough 

Back to bed, everyone.

What a week it has been for us poor Irish!

First, there was Monday and Tuesday's treacherous snow and ice, and then Storm Rachel took over, blasting us all with wind and rain.

Just as we thought things were beginning to calm down, it seems we're in for more freezing weather today – in fact, it has already begun in some parts of Ireland.

Met Éireann have this morning issued a Status Yellow snow and ice alert between 6am and noon, so be careful out there.

Parts of Ireland already affected by snow on the roads this morning include Longford, Roscommon, Monaghan, Leitrim, Westmeath, Cavan and Louth, with frost widespread on the roads elsewhere across the country.

Met Éireann say commuters should be aware of "outbreaks of sleet and snow in places this morning, especially in parts of the midlands, north and east."

The latest warning comes after a day of wild weather yesterday which caused power outages, diverted flights and fallen trees around the country.

Don't cancel your plans for the weekend just yet, though – the weather is expected to calm down later today and for Saturday and Sunday too. Phew!
