Snow could be on the cards as Met Eireann has issued a freezing forecast this Christmas.
The national forecaster has warned of "wintry showers" with some turning into snow in parts of Ireland over St Stephen's Day. Remember to bundle up in your warmest Christmas jumper because temperatures will plummet to subzero.
Today will be cloudy and wet in Dublin with outbreaks of rain expected. The rain will clear through the late afternoon and early evening leaving behind a few bright or sunny spells and scattered showers. Daytime temperatures will be 9 or 10 degrees.

Tonight will see a mix of clear spells and a few scattered showers with the lowest temperatures of 4 or 5 degrees. The mixed conditions will continue into the next morning on Christmas Eve with sunny spells and scattered showers.
However, the showers will become more widespread and heavy at times in the afternoon. The highest temperatures will be around 9 or 10 degrees.
There is no further forecast for Dublin so here's what the national outlook says:
Tomorrow night (Christmas Eve)
"A mix of clear spells and scattered showers. Some of the showers may be heavy and prolonged, especially near Atlantic coasts. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees in a moderate to fresh southerly breeze, stronger near the west coast.
Sunday (Christmas Day)
"Christmas morning will be dry and bright for many eastern and southern areas but showery outbreaks of rain will move into the west and north. This rain will gradually make its way southeastwards across the country through the afternoon and evening. Colder clearer conditions will follow to the west and north with some showers feeding into northern coastal areas later, possibly of hail or sleet. Highest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees early in the day in a light to moderate southerly breeze, turning round to the northwest and freshening later.
"Cold on Christmas night with clear spells and a few showers, affecting northern coastal counties mainly with some turning wintry. Lowest temperatures of minus 2 to plus 2 degrees with some frost forming, in moderate west to northwest winds, stronger along the north coast.
Monday (St. Stephen's Day)
"A cold and brighter day with sunny spells and scattered showers, mainly in western and northern coastal counties. These showers may turn to sleet in some spots with some hail and hill snow possible over Ulster. Highest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees."
