The warning comes after the heavy snowfall across southern counties on Thursday night with blizzard conditions leaving many homes without power and some rural roads impassable.

Ongoing industrial action by Roads Service employees had a detrimental impact on the gritting programme during the severe weather episode according to the Department for Infrastructure and with no end to the pay dispute over the weekend gritting is also likely to be reduced on Monday night.
