Donegal is set to gain another layer of snow tonight as Met Eireann issues a new winter weather warning.
After a day of widespread travel disruption and school closures, fresh snow is forecast to fall on the north west again overnight.
Tonight will be “very cold”, according to Met Eireann, with showers becoming increasingly wintry as the night progresses, with a mix of hail, sleet and hill snow.
There is also a risk of thunder, mainly in Atlantic coastal counties.
