It's been reported that Ireland may experience it's heaviest snowfall since 1982.

What's been dubbed the 'Beast from the East' has already struck mainland Europe.

And it's given us a glimpse into what's in store for us from tomorrow morning onward - as Ireland prepares to freeze through horrific conditions.

Met Éireann has issued a status orange weather warning for snow and ice in Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Laois, Louth, Wicklow and Meath.

The warning is in effect from 3pm tomorrow until 11am on Wednesday.

Here's a small snapshot of what has already transpired around mainland Europe and the U.K:
