File photo Image: Eamonn Farrell/RollingNews.ie IT’S GOING TO be another bitterly cold day today with weather warnings for low temperatures and ice kicking in.Met Éireann has warned there will be hazardous conditions as a band of wintry percipitation sinks southwards, leading to a potential for black ice and freezing rain on surfaces.

In Northern Ireland, a Yellow ice warning for Antrim, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry is in place until 6pm. Another Yellow ice warning for those five counties will kick in at 4pm and will remain in place until 12pm tomorrow. However, Met Éireann says that after dark, showers of sleet and snow will move into parts of the east.

If the road looks polished or glossy it could be black ice which is nearly transparent ice that often looks like a harmless puddle or is overlooked entirely.
