Met Eireann predicts snow later today

Met Eireann has said it will be dry and cold today and there is a risk of wintry showers later today and overnight into tomorrow morning.

However, it will not be as bad the previous cold spells and John Eagleton of Met Eireann said the snow may not arrive until tomorrow.

The National Road Authority has said there is plenty of salt to keep the main roads open.

Meanwhile, there will be further restrictions to water supplies in some parts of the country today.

Crews are still working to repair leaks and burst pipes in the worst affected areas.

The chief executive of Northern Ireland Water has resigned after thousands of homes were left without water.

Laurence MacKenzie had been under pressure since unprecedented cold temperatures before Christmas produced a massive number of pipes to burst.

Members of the Stormont Executive had also demanded he should go.

The announcement was made last night after a meeting of the company's directors.
