Freezing temperatures and snowfall has led to travel disruption in some parts of Northern Ireland. Translink has warned of disruption to services on rural routes such as Ballymena, Ballyclare, Larne, Magherafelt, Cookstown, Newry and Lisburn.

A spokesperson for the Met Office explained: "Showers are expected to become more frequent during the afternoon and evening, feeding south across Northern Ireland and turning to snow above 150m. Some places could see 2-5cm of fresh snow, with a further 10cm over mountain tops.

A Storm Bert amber warning for snow has been extended in Scotland to cover the Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, East Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire. The Met Office alert was already in place for parts of the Highlands,
