It seems that Winter has leapfrogged Autumn this year so grab your coat and your hot water bottle, because things are about to get chilly.
Met Eireann has today warned that that there could be sub zero temperatures across the country this weekend.
Here's what the weather is set to look like over the weekend:
Saturday

Top temperatures only 11 to 14 degrees in fresh northerly winds. Showers dying out, skies clearing and the winds easing Saturday night. Turning rather cold with air temperatures falling to between 2 and 6 degrees and ground temperatures dipping below zero in rural areas.
Sunday
A mainly dry day with sunny spells; just a few showers likely in the north and east and still a cool northerly breeze here but milder generally with highest temperatures 15 to 17 degrees as winds drop light. Clear and cool Sunday night.
