MUCH OF IRELAND has been pounded by snow and icy conditions since the early morning making for inconvenient, but often rather picturesque, scenes. 

A Status Orange weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for 13 counties until midnight, with a second Orange warning then taking effect in Leinster from midnight until the morning.

We’ve gathered some of the best photos from across the country that illustrate the kind of havoc today’s weather is wreaking on Irish roads.
