Northern Ireland weather and traffic updates as PSNI asks drivers to exercise caution

Winter scenes snapped as pre-Christmas chill sets in

It might not raise an eyebrow in Oslo or matter much in Moscow but when we get a skiff of snow here in Northern Ireland, we lose the run of ourselves.

Whether it's being unprepared for icy car windscreens, or haring off into the Mournes to experience the snowy peaks in a pair of gutties we always seem surprised that in winter – it gets cold.

But with a Yellow Weather Warning in place until Thursday evening, you don't have to venture out in the big chill as we've collated all the best pictures of the picturesque cold snap here.

Weather warning still in place

A yellow weather warning for ice is currently in place for most areas this morning, and will remain in place until 10am.

Regarding the weather warning, the Met Office said: "A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Icy stretches are expected to form on untreated surfaces during Wednesday evening and overnight into Thursday as temperatures drop below freezing. A few sleet or snow showers are also likely at times, particularly close to coasts."

Police statement

Road users are advised to exercise caution due to icy roads throughout Northern Ireland. Stopping distances increase greatly when weather conditions are poor, so slow down and leave a bigger gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front.

Good morning
