Plummeting temperatures to hit -4 causing havoc on the roads

Motorists are being urged to take care on roads in the coming days as plummeting temperatures threaten to cause havoc.

Temperatures are due to drop to as low as -4 degrees in many areas tonight and Met Éireann has forecast further cold and wind tomorrow. While there is no additional snow forecast for many areas, the meltwater from today's fall was expected to freeze and cause further issues on roads and footpaths.
