As the area of rainfall, sleet and snow clears on Monday evening/night and Tuesday Morning heavy wintry showers will follow with falls of hail, sleet and snow leading to accumulations over parts of the west, northwest and North especially over higher terrain and lower levels areas inland. Some areas may only see temporary dusting leading to dangerous conditions on road with ice forming.

I was in Albufeira Portugal I was waiting for the full moon to come up and it did not let me down.
The orange and red tints that the Moon sometimes take on rising and setting are caused by the particles in the Earth's atmosphere. When light (or more specifically, packets of light called photons) from an astronomical object passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters off of particles in the latter.
