Northern Ireland snow: police urge drivers to stay at home with icy roads and two Met Office weather warnings in place
Police have warned people across Northern Ireland not to go out on the roads unless they have to during this current spell of wintry weather.
The Met Office has yellow weather warnings in place for most areas for snow and ice through to Noon on Monday.
“The roads are icy and conditions can change quickly,” a PSNI spokesperson said.
"Please slow down, increase the distance between you and the vehicle in front and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.
"If you don't need to be out, consider staying home until conditions improve.
"Our officers are out working to keep everyone safe. Help us help you by driving cautiously and looking out for one another. Take care and arrive safely.”
The Department for Infrastructure confirmed salting of roads on the scheduled network, including the deployment of snow ploughs on higher ground routes, took place overnight and on Saturday morning.
“Road users are advised to exercise caution when travelling, particularly when driving on untreated roads.”
