Met Eireann ‘Beast from the East’ update as weather maps show ‘major’ snow blast for Ireland

Ireland could face heavy snow in early March, according to some long-range weather maps.

Met Eireann says the country is going to see colder weather for the rest of this week, forecasting subzero temperatures, frost, ice, hail and fog at times.
