Looks like we (the east of the country in particular) could be heading into a period of colder weather with chance of hail sleet and snow over the coming days.
Could be an interesting week!

Latest Met Eireann forecast
Tomorrow Cloudy on Tuesday with rain in many areas and some sleet in parts of the north and east with some snow on higher ground. Some drier periods will develop in places later in the day. Very cold in Ulster and Leinster and turning cold everywhere by evening.Outlook Very cold weather in store for much of the rest of this week with predominately easterly winds.Rain, sleet and some wet snow will clear southwards on Tuesday night and it will become very cold with clearing skies and temperatures falling to between 0 and -3 degrees with frost and icy conditions developing.Wednesday and Thursday will be very cold dry days in many areas but temperatures only rising to 2 to 4 degrees in the afternoons highest in far western areas. And there is a risk that some wintry showers of hail or snow may affect parts of the east and south coasts at times.Very cold, frosty, icy nights with temperatures plummeting to between -2 to -7 degrees and the danger of some freezing fog also. There is a good deal of uncertainty about the prospects for the following few days as there will be a battle going on between the very cold air coming from the east and the milder air coming in off the Atlantic. The latest indications suggest it will become less cold especially in western areas during Friday and Saturday with rain moving in off the Atlantic and spreading eastwards, however a danger exists that this could bring some snow further east if the cold air persists in more midland and eastern areas.
