Brace yourselves... Northern Ireland is set for its first snowfall of the winter.

Once Storm Caroline passes later, it is set to turn much colder.

The Met Office has issued a yellow ‘be aware’ weather warning for snow and ice.

Snow showers are expected to develop from tonight lasting through the weekend. These, combined with strong winds could lead to locally very poor travel conditions.

A statement on the Met Office website says: "Expect 2-5cm of lying snow fairly widely, even at lower levels, with 10 cm over higher ground. Icy surfaces are also likely to be an additional hazard. Expect possible travel delays on roads, rail and air travel. Watch out for Icy stretches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."

The warning is in place from 00:05 Friday lasting through to 18:00 Saturday.

Road signs on the M2 warning motorists in advance of Thursday's expected adverse weather.
