Met Eireann move to allay fears over weekend snowfall distribution
Met Éireann is downplaying reports of major snowfall this weekend.
A cold snap is likely with wintry showers in many areas.
However, Met Éireann forecaster John Eagleton is not expecting any major disruption.
“There will be a lot of showers on the west coast, they will be what we call wintry showers - which some of them will be of snow. Particularly towards the north west - towards Donegal.”
“At this stage I don’t see it as a major snow event”, said Mr Eagleton.
