The Met Office extended the warning originally put in place yesterday until 9am today.

The new warning states that lying snow and ice are to be expected, which will lead to difficult traffic conditions.

It is valid until 11 a.m. tomorrow.

The meteorologist says patches of ice can be expected on some dirt roads, sidewalks and bike lanes.

It also warns against slipping on icy surfaces.
