Heavy Snow Hits South of Island

The snow has fallen heavy in pretty much only in the Southern tip of the Island overnight causing a whiteout in some areas.

The works teams are currently down there dealing with the roads in an effort to make them passable in time for the work and school rush hour, as it stands the Brandywell is closed and the schools will still be opening.

Ronaldsway has been closed as a consequence until at least 10am, a further update is expected from the airport at 8am.
 
Passengers are asked to contact the airline before departing for the airport.

On the buses all School services in the South of the Island have been cancelled, there is currently no service from Port Erin to Castletown, Service 8 has been suspended and the X3 Ramsey service will run via the coast road, not the Mountain.
