Weather: Snow and ice shuts schools for a second day (BBC News)

More than twenty schools across Northern Ireland are shut, with the north west the worst affected.

"It's very clear that it has been a while since we have all had to think about how we drive when it is snowy and there were a lot of cars being abandoned - there was one particular hill I had to drive up and the four cars in front of me did not get up that hill and had to leave their cars and vans." "Snow may be heaviest in the north, but right down to the south of the province and to the west, it is still very icy anyway, so please everyone take extra care if you have to travel," he said. "They have been working in shifts almost continually over the past couple of days, in many areas to try and keep the main road network open and passable, but it is fair to say that the situation does remain difficult, and the road temperatures are currently below freezing almost everywhere." He said despite the service's best efforts "you can't guarantee that roads are free of snow and ice at all times". He said "many of the drivers have been facing heavy snow showers along their routes". The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said salting had been carried out across the "entire scheduled network" on Tuesday evening and again overnight in the early hours of Wednesday.
