Police have appealed for people to stay home to stay safe during the "terrible weather" currently blasting Northern Ireland. The Police Service of Northern Ireland says that officers are doing what they can as the freezing blast from the Arctic causes major travel problems, but they have urged people to stay home unless their journey is "absolutely necessary".
An Amber Level snow and ice warning for counties Antrim, Armagh, and Down is in place for the early hours of this morning (Friday March 10), with the Met Office warning of disruption to travel and impact on infrastructure, while a Yellow snow warning is in place until 2pm across Northern Ireland.
The PSNI said: "Before travelling on the roads today please consider if your journey is absolutely necessary. If you must travel, please take extra care, plan for delays.
