A COLD and frosty start to today will be coupled with some mist and fog patches to give the region a really wintery feel.
Skies will mostly be clear again throughout the day, but despite the sunshine, it will still feel cold with temperatures not likely to exceed 3C.
With the low temperature, motorists are advised to take care on the roads for ice and to stick to main roads wherever possible.
The clear skies will continue overnight, with temperatures again plummeting below freezing, to around -5C, with widespread mist and fog patches likely in places.
