Temperatures are to remain low for the first working week of the year
Parts of Northern Ireland have been blanketed by snow over the past few days – with more to come.
A yellow weather warning for snow and ice is in place across the region until midday on Monday, January 5, but there could be some snow flurries after this as temperatures are to remain low.
Plenty of people were out and about enjoying the snow over the weekend, with many pictured enjoying sledding on Divis and Black Mountain, refreshing walks around Shaw’s Bridge, and playing in the snow at Woodburn Reservoir in Co Antrim.

Looking ahead to the coming days, Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said: “As we begin the first full working week of the year, we face a range of winter weather hazards with snow showers and ice.
“In the north of Scotland, snow showers are expected to become more frequent on Sunday night with some locations within the Amber warning areas seeing a further 20-30 cm accumulate by Monday morning.
“Elsewhere in the UK, snow showers, ice and frost are expected at times but milder air will make attempts to spread eastward from Tuesday.
“This will mean rain becomes more likely in the south, but there is also the possibility of more organised snow along the boundary of the mild and cold airmasses. Strong winds could also be a feature later in the week.”
The weather forecaster said it is likely the forecast will evolve and therefore important people keep up to date with the latest forecast and warnings and plan ahead.
