⚠️Met Éireann has added a Status Orange Snow/ Ice warning for Waterford until 8pm this evening (Sunday) and a Status Yellow Low Temperature / Ice warning for the whole of Ireland will be in place until midday, Thursday, January 9th.

With very cold nights with widespread frost and ice, potential impacts include hazardous travelling conditions, icy patches and travel disruption.

Waterford City and County Council will continue to treat the Priority One and Two road networks. Waterford road network Gritting Routes can be found on the homepage of Waterford City and County Council website at https://waterfordcouncil.ie/

With heavy snowfall ongoing in higher areas – Ballymacarbry, Rathgormack, Clonmel and Carrick-on-Suir - some roads may become impassable, and people should avoid travelling in these areas.

Wet surfaces and overnight freezing temperatures will lead to very slippery conditions and the possibility of black ice, making travel conditions throughout the week very challenging. Waterford City and County Council advises people to assess whether making a journey by road is necessary. If it is not, please consider delaying your trip until the weather and road conditions improve.

If the journey is necessary Waterford City and County Council is advising motorists to slow down and drive with caution even on gritted roads, be aware of other road users and allow extra time for your journey.

With surface water levels remaining high until 9am Monday, January 6th, there may be some risk of localised and spot flooding. Waterford City and County Council is asking motorists to avoid driving through flowing or standing water and be conscious of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.

Waterford City and County Council's Integrated Homeless Services Severe Weather Protocol is also in operation, with extra bed capacity available at McGwire House. The Outreach Team from Waterford Integrated Homeless Services has been in contact with any known rough sleepers to advise them of the shelter arrangements.

Waterford City and County Council is appealing to the public to contact the Homeless Services Team if they see person(s) sleeping rough in Waterford.

Members of the public can contact Waterford City and County Council’s Customer Services Desks and the Homeless Services Team at Waterford Integrated Homeless Services by calling 0818 10 20 20 during normal office hours, after which calls will be transferred to the Council’s emergency services number.
