We've only just got rid of the Beast from the East (and of course, we can't forget the Pest from the West) - but the region is ready for another dose of cold weather this weekend.

A Met Office weather warning issued earlier this week for snow and ice was originally meant to run until Saturday morning.

Forecasters have said that not all areas will see snow showers - but, according to the Met Office, we're set to see some flakes in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday.

The weather will turn freezing throughout Friday and Saturday, with temperatures not set to get above 3°C on Sunday.

If you were planning on getting outdoors this weekend, make sure you have your thermals at the ready!
