As November deepens across the island of Ireland, the season's first true cold snap is poised to arrive — not with dramatic storms, but with a quiet, crystalline severity. Met Éireann charts a steady descent from the mild double digits of midweek to minus three degrees Celsius by Friday night, a threshold that transforms damp autumn into something harder and more demanding. The cold comes largely dry, a small mercy, yet frost and ice will ask of people and roads alike a kind of winter readiness that the season has not yet required.
