Northern Ireland is to remain in the grip of the current icy winter blast with a new weather warning issued by the Met Office.
The second weather warning affects all six counties and will be in place from 3pm today until 11am on Tuesday.
The Met Office has warned that snow and icy patches may lead to some disruption to travel.
A spokesperson said: “Rain, sleet and snow showers will continue during Monday evening and night leading to a risk of icy stretches.
“A slight covering of snow is possible in places, and perhaps up to 5cms on hills in the north and west, especially the Sperrins.
“Snow showers are expected to become more frequent across the north and west for a time this afternoon and evening.”
