Ireland could be in line for it's coldest December in 12 years when a cold spell lasted over a month.
Easterly winds are dominant over the country for the next while, with the chance of snow next week.
The weather models suggest temperatures will barely get over freezing.
You can the colder air moving in over Ireland ok latest animation of upper air temps here. It’s shows the real cold air possibly pushing down from Wednesday which is still a little uncertain but risk is increasing. pic.twitter.com/WpxQvkp9Cd

Cathal Nolan from Ireland's Weather Channel says there's a chance of snow, but there is a question over how much and where;
"Initially I don't think we'll see the temperatures quite as low as we experienced at that particular time but again that really depends upon the longevity of the cold spell. The longer the cold spell lasts certainly the increased chance we see of temperatures getting towards what we have experienced in 2010."
