Storm Goretti had minimal impact on Ireland, despite its effects on Britain, Met Éireann has said.
Meteorologist Ailís Hankinson said while there were rainy conditions on Thursday evening, it did not accumulate and there was very little sleet or snow.
A status yellow snow and rain warning had been in place for counties Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford on Thursday.
“The storm stayed further south than expected,” Ms Hankinson said, explaining that the track of the storm changed, causing it to have a lesser impact on Ireland.

A status yellow ice warning issued by the UK Met Office for counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry, will be in place from midnight until 11am on Friday.
The full effects of the storm were felt in Britain, however, where the Met Office issued a red weather warning for Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and Jersey.
In Cornwall, gusts of 99 miles per hour (159km/h) were recorded. Other weather warnings were in place for large parts of England, Scotland and Wales.
According to Met Éireann, Ireland will see icy conditions on Friday with very cold conditions later in the day. Scattered showers will affect Atlantic and northern counties with hail and a chance of isolated thunderstorms in some areas.
Highest temperatures will be between 3 and 7 degrees, and coldest in the northeast.
The forecaster said it will turn milder through the weekend and Saturday is expected to be a largely dry and bright day with just a few showers. Sunday will also be largely dry and cloudy.
