It was a wintry start to Wednesday in Athlone, as residents and commuters dealt with lingering fog and freezing temperatures in the midst of an orange weather warning.
The weather has caused significant disruption, with a number of schools in the area opting to close due to the hazardous travelling conditions.
Here are some photos of the scene in Athlone town shortly before 9am.
