Snow and ice warnings issued across Northern Ireland
- Author, Barra Best

Weather warnings for snow and ice have been issued for Northern Ireland and began at 18:00 GMT on Tuesday and set to end at 10:00 on Wednesday.
Wintry showers are expected to develop on Tuesday evening and continue overnight into Wednesday morning.
Away from the north coast, lying snow is possible, with 1-2cm in places and up to 5cm over higher ground.
However, it is important to note that the nature of showers mean that most places will avoid snow altogether.
Ice is also likely to form readily on untreated surfaces, leading to hazardous conditions.
The warning follows snowfall, mainly over hills and mountains, in Northern Ireland on Monday night.
Between 5-10 cm of snow was forecast to fall over the likes of the Sperrin and Mourne Mountains.
Meanwhile, Met 脡ireann has issued a similar warning for low temperatures and ice across the Republic of Ireland.
It began at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday and lasts until 10:00 on Wednesday.
The organisation is warning of hazardous conditions on roads and paths, particularly in untreated areas, with a risk of travel disruption.
