Early weather models have shown that snow could be on its way to Ireland next week.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather shared some early forecasts; showing glimpses of milder air, however it is still unclear if the country will be greeted by snow, hail or sleet.
He tweeted: "Weather models a mess for next week with milder air trying to push up but the position is unclear and could result in a rain/sleet/snow mix so need to keep a close eye on forecasts for next week."

Yesterday, the weather expert shared weather models which hinted at how long the cold spell could last.
The popular online forecaster wrote: "At odds over how long the cold lasts next week. Latest updates show mild back in by 10th on ECM model. However the GFS keeps the cold going."
The Global Forecast System (GFS) mentioned is a National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) weather model that collates data from several different atmospheric and land variables; such as temperature, wind and rain.
Met Éireann, the national forecaster, has indicated that temperatures will drop to freezing this coming Sunday night in areas where skies are clear.
"Monday night will be very cold with temperatures dropping well below freezing. Tuesday will be a cold day with the chance of any showers turning to sleet and snow on hills and mountains," a spokesperson said.
On the uncertainty from Wednesday also mentioned by Mr O'Reilly, Met Éireann said: "Current indication suggesting a spell of rain from the southwest on Wednesday will reintroduce milder conditions for the second half of the week."
