Met Eireann has forecast TWO days of snow for Dublin this week as temperatures begin to drop below zero.
The snow is due to hit the capital and the rest of Ireland on high ground on Wednesday and Saturday.
For today, Tuesday will start off dry in Dublin with sunny spells after dawn. It will become cloudier as outbreaks of rain develop later on in the day.
Temperatures will reach as high as 9C with fresh and gusty winds but they will drop to as low as -1C tonight with frost and isolated showers.
Speaking about the snow, Met Eireann said: "Wednesday night will be cold, breezy and mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain which will turn increasingly wintry over much of Leinster and Munster with snow on hills and mountains.
"The rain and sleet will clear southwards overnight with clear periods following and with frost and icy patches developing. Lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees. with light to moderate northerly breezes."
For Saturday, they said: "Saturday will start off dry and bright. However, rain will develop in the west during the morning and then spread across the country through the afternoon and evening, turning to sleet in places as it does so."
They added: "Very cold with highest temperatures of just 3 to 7 degrees and light breezes. On Saturday night, rain and sleet will continue, with snow developing on higher ground, but gradually clearing southeastwards overnight and early on Sunday."
As well as this, two weather warnings were issued for Ireland this morning.
The status yellow, gale warning means there will be "West to Northwest gales or strong gales this morning on coasts from Erris Head to Fair Head to Wicklow Head and on the Irish Sea, with northwest gales continuing on the Irish Sea for a time this afternoon".
There's also a status yellow, small craft warning in place which means "west to Northwest winds will reach force 6 or 7 with higher gusts today on coasts from Wicklow Head to Valentia to Erris Head."
