Icy roads and footpaths expected as ice warning in place nationwide this morning

Forecaster Met Éireann said some patches of freezing fog are also possible, with a Status Yellow ice warning not to lift until midday.

Sharp to severe frosts and icy stretches on roads and footpaths should be expected up to Thursday morning.Due to the conditions, which came into effect yesterday, gardaí have been advising motorists to consider alternative routes or plans today if intending to travel to Sally Gap in the Wicklow Mountains.

Sorry for being hypercritical here, but I don't think that's a responsible choice of stock imagery to use with this story. Driving with only part of your windscreen cleared in dangerous and, AFAIK, illegal.
