With ice, snow, sleet and rain encompassing a lot of the country this weekend, it does not seem as though the cold snap will end overnight.
With the entire country under a Status Yellow low temperature and ice warning until midday on Thursday, very cold nights with widespread frost and ice can be expected until at least then.
Temperatures are expected to struggle to get above freezing during the day, and potential impacts include icy patches, hazardous travelling conditions and travel disruption.
The entirety of Northern Ireland will also be under a Status Yellow ice warning from midnight until 11am on Monday.
So, keep reading to get an overview on what weather we can expect for the next few days.

Northwesterly winds will increase from moderate to fresh and gusty – but stronger for a time in Atlantic areas.
