Northern Ireland experienced a severe spell of cold weather recently which had an impact on the everyday lives of thousands of people.
With the coldest night since 2021 being registered in Katesbridge, County Down at -9 degrees, the extreme cold snap brought with it a number of weather warnings for ice and snow in some parts.
Driving was made treacherous with black ice and freezing fog contributing to the difficult conditions.
Some homeowners were reporting freezing pipes due to the sub-zero temperatures which can have disastrous consequences, especially once they thaw.
This is also a problem for businesses and landlords over the Christmas period, as a burst pipe in an unoccupied building can cause untold damage if left for a number of days.
