Schools to open as normal after snow hits Island

Mountain Road closed, buses affected and airport warning of potential delays

Schools on the Isle of Man are opening as normal, after snow fell across the Island overnight.

However, police have closed the Mountain Road due to poor road conditions.

Meanwhile, Ronaldway's terminal building is open, but the airport is warning there could be some disruption to flights due to the snow.

Staff there are working to clear the snow, while passengers are asked to take extra care on their approach to the building.

Isle of Man Transport is warning that it's currently unable to serve a number of bus routes.

Manx Care says there's no disruption to clinics today but circumstances may change.

It's urging residents to contact the Patient Information Centre on 650103 if they have concerns about an appointment.

For patients expecting to attend appointments outside of the hospital, the health body asks you to contact the unit you're due to receive treatment at.

An amber weather warning remains in place until 3pm.
