Mountain road closed due to snow

Winter's first snowfall has forced a closure to the Mountain Road this morning.

The road was closed following reports of heavy snow and stuck vehicles - a decision that will be reassessed once the snow stops.

There's also heavy snow hitting much of the coastal road. Although it has been gritted, the Maughold area is said to be particularly slippy.

It is expected that any low lying snow will have melted this morning - meaning there will be no school closures.

We will have more updates throughout the morning.
