'Some showers will be heavy, leading to accumulations of snow on mountains and at times to lower levels.'

'The showers will be most frequent in the north and west and down through the midlands.'

'They'll become isolated in the evening.'

The wintry weather is expected to continue into the last days of 2017. 

Fog, rain and sleet are all expected for the remainder of the week.
