Wintry showers on Tuesday night into Wednesday will bring some icy patches and lying snow in places, leading to possible travel delays What to expect: Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces Further details: Frequent wintry showers will feed inland through Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning across Northern Ireland, with strong northerly winds blowing showers well inland. Whilst little to no snow accumulations are expected at low levels, 1-3 cm is likely over higher ground, and perhaps very locally up to 5 cm. This may affect routes such as the Glenshane Pass and Coleraine Mountain road. Ice will be likely on untreated surfaces, whilst hail and lightning will be additional hazards. What Should I Do? Snowy, icy weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
