DERRY is braced for more wintry conditions with snow and ice warnings issued by the Met Office.
Heavy snow showers are expected to follow on from a spell of rain, sleet and hill snow later today, Thursday, February 8.
A yellow “be prepared” warning has been issued from midnight on Friday.
Forecasters said that some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, while some injuries from slips and accidents on icy surfaces are possible.
The Met Office said: “Rain, sleet and hill snow is expected to clear north western Scotland late on Thursday evening, and these clearer conditions will spread to all parts by early Friday morning.
“Ice is expected to form as skies clear.
“Heavy snow showers will follow, and these will be most frequent across Northern Ireland and western Scotland, where 2-5 cm may accumulate above 100 m with some snow to low levels too.
“Ice will be the main hazard across.”
