Where will snow fall in Ireland? Forecasts disagree as to where will be hit

Ireland is set for freezing temperatures and wintry showers but leading forecasts still disagree as to where snow could fall on Thursday. 

Weather Alerts Ireland posted the ECMWF and GFS morning model for snow depths for Ireland for Thursday and there is a huge difference between the two. 

According to the ECMWF model, heavy snow is expected across a large section of the country with Laois, Tipperary and Wicklow set to have significant accumulations.
