The country saw similar frosts over Remembrance Day weekend in preparation for the storm, with overnight temperatures plunging to -5C.
The latest weather maps echo a forecast from James Madden, a forecaster for Exacta Weather, who warned that “it is now increasingly likely that we will see at least 1-2 notable wintry blasts from late November and into the first half of December”.
