Icy stretches are expected to develop across much of Northern Ireland during the early hours of Monday morning, following the clearance of earlier wet weather. In addition, further wintry showers are likely to move in from the north during this period, increasing the potential for ice in places, and bringing the chance of 1-3 cm of snow in a few places, mainly in the west. What should I do?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 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.Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
