Roads are currently being gritted to try to make them safer for motorists.

Snow fell overnight on high ground and the police are asking people to avoid unnecessary travek.

The Laxey area - particularly Minorca Hill - is icy and driving conditions are difficult.

The Mountain Road was shut early this morning.

Reader Frank Schuengel took photos of the snow around the Kate’s Cottage and Creg ny Baa area and sent them to us.

Our thanks to him for that.

We print readers’ photos in our papers.
