Met Office warns of more snow on Tuesday and Wednesday

Snow is expected to become more widespread and disruptive on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A Met Office weather warning for snow and ice is in place across the whole two days for the entire country.

It warns that some rural communities may be cut off due to the conditions.

The warning says: “Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
