De-icer at the ready, a yellow weather warning for snow and rain comes into effect from midnight until midday, with forecasters warning travel disruption is likely.

According to The Met Office; "An area of rain moving in across Northern Ireland during Sunday evening will turn to snow during the early hours. The bulk of accumulations will be above 100 to 200 metres with a chance that above 200 metres some places may see 5 to 10 cm. At lower levels, snow cover will be patchier with small temporary accumulations and slushy deposits. During the afternoon, strong winds may then lead to some drifting of lying snow over hills and mountains."

Further snow showers are forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.

March might be just around the corner but unfortunately there's no let up in the wintry weather just yet.
