Ireland will go through a big freeze as we enter the second week of March - with rain, hail, sleet and snow all expected to fall over the next few days.
Experts have advised the country to expect the worst kind of weather across the country, with two weather warnings in place.
Ten counties face a wind and rain warning from 4am to 5pm on Tuesday, while a nationwide alert for wind and rain kicks in at 10pm and lasts until 5pm on Wednesday.
Now, the national forecaster have predicted what region of the country will see problems first.
In an early-morning tweet on Tuesday, Met Éireann said:
Overall, here's the outlook for the next couple of days:
Tuesday
"Windy today with strong to gale force southeasterly winds. Outbreaks of rain will track up from the southwest through the morning with some heavy falls leading to localised flooding. The rain will clear to squally showers with a chance of thunderstorms and hail. Highest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees."
Things will start to calm down a bit early on Tuesday night, but Met Eireann warn that "it will become windy again in strengthening southeasterly winds. Very heavy rain, turning wintry in parts, will move in across the country, last to arrive to the east"
Wednesday
Batten down the hatches, because things are getting wet on Wednesday, according to the forecast.
"Very wet and windy at first on Wednesday. Widespread heavy rain, and localised flooding will be accompanied by strong to gale force and gusty southerly winds. Some falls of sleet and snow are possible too." the forecasters say.
"A clearance will however develop across the west and southwest into the afternoon with sunny spells developing - becoming calm at this point too. Very cold with highest temperatures ranging from 2 and 6 degrees.
"Largely dry and clear as the last of a wintry falls clear into the Irish Sea. Cold with lowest temperatures of -5 to -1 degrees. A sharp or severe frost will set in along with some icy stretches, in no more than moderate southerly winds."
Thursday
It's a bit unclear at the moment, but Thursday is "likely to be one of the drier and brighter days this week. Most areas will be dry with sunny spells, but with freshening southerly winds developing later. Highest temperatures of 7 to 9 or 10 degrees."
