School closures across Co Armagh as heavy snow continued overnight

Heavy snow continued overnight which will cause another day of major disruption across Co Armagh.

An amber warning for snow will remain in place until 9am this morning (Wednesday).

However, that will only be replaced by a yellow warning for snow and ice up until 6pm before a wind warning comes into place from 9pm tonight, right through until 11am tomorrow.

Salting of roads on the scheduled network continued through the night and will do so this morning, however the Department for Infrastructure’s winter service team is experiencing difficult conditions in many areas.

Road users are advised to travel only if essential, take care and leave extra time if making journeys today.

John Irvine, Head of Network Services, Department for Infrastructure, said: “The Department’s winter service team has been working round the clock, endeavouring to keep main roads open following snow and ice

“This evening, conditions in some areas have been extremely difficult and challenging, some routes have required salting up to five times since this afternoon to keep them passable.

“Salting and ploughing of the scheduled road network will continue overnight and additional staff and gritters have been deployed.
