Sure; it causes havoc on the roads.

Provided you’re not travelling anywhere however, the morning frost and fog can make for a picturesque start to the day.

Twitter users from all over the city and county have been sharing jaw-dropping photos of Cork draped in eerie mist and frosted with shimmering ice this week.

From the City Centre to the Lough and the Lee Fields, Blackrock Castle to Blackpool, there were breathtaking scenes to be had almost everywhere, although early risers definitely captured the most magical photographs.

Here are 15 of the best shots shared on Twitter:
