Blizzard expected to hit Waterford later this evening

We've now reached the cut-off time for people to get inside.

People are being warned to remain wherever they are until midday tomorrow, as a blizzard is expected to hit the country.

Significant further snowfall will start in the south before moving across Ireland, with the east the worst affected. Winds are expected to increase over the coming hours with the heavy snow reaching Waterford between 8.00pm and 9.00pm.
