The Mountain Road is closed this morning because of snow.

Police say conditions are treacherous after snow fell overnight.

The route will remain closed between the Lheany Road and the Creg Na Baa until at least 5pm today, although police say they'll review the situation regularly.

An amber weather warning from Ronaldsway Met Office about snow on higher ground runs until 6pm today.

Due to adverse weather conditions and MET office recommendations both horse tram services and Snaefell Mountain services have been suspended for today. We apologize for any disruption caused.
