Wednesday is expected to bring more of the same, with snow squalls and hazardous driving conditions.

The weather is supposed to improve later in the week, with just a few flurries by the weekend.

Meanwhile, motorists were having a tough drive on Boxing Day, as the roads were snow-covered and slippery, with white-out conditions.
