Around 250 people around the Island are still without power today as a result of the snow.

The Manx Electricity Authority yesterday restored the supply to another 300 customers but there are still parts of the network which are off.

Work is continuing this morning in the Curraghs and Stockfield Road and at Cronk-y-Voddy.

Supplies have now been restored at Eairystane, Ronague, Laurel Bank and Jurby Church.

The authority says it has been working with other agencies to ensure that contact is maintained with vulnerable customers who are still without power.
