People in Donegal are awakening to the effects of Storm Barra, with many facing power cuts, wind damage and treacherous road conditions.
Gritters were out in force across the county's roads from 6am as temperatures dropped to around 0ºC to 1.5ºC in heavy wintry showers of hail and sleet. Motorists are advised that conditions are still very slippery in places.
There are early reports of storm damage including a fallen tree in the Lough Eske area, signs down, and branches and other debris on the roads.
