WATCH: Laois April hail and sleet shower as new Met Éireann snow ice warning issued

Met Éireann has issued a new status yellow snow-ice warning for Wicklow, Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo with wintry showers and possible snow. 

Meanwhile, in Laois, April showers brought a heavy burst of hail and some sleet on Tuesday afternoon around 3 pm before it cleared away again shortly after. 

Laois man Rory McEvoy was quick with his camera and caught the heavy hail shower in a video which shows the extent of how heavy the hail was for a short time.
