Wind & Snow Warning Remains In Place
A Met Office weather warning for rain and snow will remain in place until 12 noon today, Monday 24 February.
Much of Northern Ireland awoke to a blanket of snow and ice this morning as temperatures plummeted to below freezing point.
The wintry conditions look set to continue throughout the day with further travel disruption expected as the system moves north-east into an area of relatively cold air.
Chief Forecaster at the Met Office Dan Suri said: "This low-pressure system will bring a lot of moisture into contact with the relatively cold air across the northern half of the UK. This brings wintry conditions to an extending from East Yorkshire to North Lancashire across into Northern Ireland and northwards Scotland. For some, snowfall could coincide with the Monday rush hour, bringing additional complications."
A number of schools have been closed across counties Tyrone, Down, Antrim and L'Derry.
No further weather warnings have been scheduled beyond today.
