The big chill is setting in as a freezing cold spell strikes Ireland.
Met Eireann revealed we'll see "colder than normal" temperatures this week with sleet, a risk of hail, sharp frosts and icy patches.
A spokesperson said: "A cold start this morning with sharp frost and icy patches widely."
However, the frost and patchy fog will lift to reveal a mainly dry day with sunny spells and light winds.
It'll become cloudy with rain in the west in the late afternoon.
Temperatures will remain in single figures with highs of just 5C to 9C.
Heading into tonight, rain will spread countrywide and recur early tonight as southerly winds freshen. A clearance to passing showers will follow to all areas from the west overnight.
The showers will become heavy towards morning with risk of hail in the west.
And it'll be a freezing night with lows of 1C to 3C and a slight frost in sheltered inland areas. Winds will become blustery as they veer west.
Looking ahead to Monday, Met Eireann revealed it will be "very blustery with sunny spells and occasional showers."
The showers will be most frequent and heaviest in the west and north with the risk of hail but there will be dry spells too - best in the east.
It will continue to feel chilly with highs of just of 6C to 9C.
Monday night will be cold and blustery with occasional showers - most frequent across the north and west.
The outlook for the coming days is for "colder than normal" conditions with variable rainfall distribution.
There's a risk of sleet in parts of the country later in the week, especially over high ground in the north on Wednesday night and in the east on Thursday.
