The Isle of Man is continuing to battle the snow today (Saturday), with gritters out on the roads.

Police say many routes are still very slippery, and are repeating yesterday’s advice not to travel unless it's absolutely necessary.

All bus services have been suspended, with a further announcement now due at 10am, or earlier if more information becomes available.

Ronaldsway Airport will remain closed until 10am today, although an inspection and a further decision will be made at 9am.

The Department of Infrastructure says its gritters have worked through the night on the Island’s main roads, and will continue to try and keep them open.

But fresh snow is heading over the east of the Island, and police say Baldrine and Bray Hill are getting blocked with vehicles. Richmond Hill is also a problem area.

All today's scheduled driving tests at Tromode have been called off.

Examiners say anybody affected will have their tests rescheduled.

The papers are delayed slightly this morning, and the Creamery says milk deliveries may also be held up.

The Department of Health says visits from district nurses will have to be prioritised becuase of the snow.

And there's no sport today, after decisions were made yesterday to call off all hockey, rugby and football matches on the Island.

Geoff Walmsley from the Department of Infrastructure says crews expect to be busy on what could be the biggest Christmas shopping day of the year:
