IT may be early spring but Limerick was transformed into a winter wonderland for a time this Sunday following heavy snowfall in many parts of the city and county.
Drone footage taken from the skies above Limerick city shows the extent of the snowfall which looks spectaular.
While road conditions have improved motorists are being urged to excercise caution if driving this Sunday afternoon and evening as temperatures are set to remain close to zero.
While there are no reports of major accidents, road conditions were said to be treacherous in several places early this morning where there were accumulations of snowfall.
Icy/snowy road conditions have been reported in several parts of the country this morning, especially on secondary routes. Reduce your speed and remember stopping distances are up to x10 longer. https://t.co/PSzIBsvOzE
