Northern Ireland was hit by more snowfall on Tuesday, as well as icy conditions in some areas.
Yellow weather warnings for ice and snow have now expired.
Most of the snowfall was on higher ground in County Antrim and County Londonderry and led to difficult travel conditions on some roads.
A band of showers moved eastwards during the morning, giving a few hours of rain, sleet and snow before clearing.

Temperatures on Tuesday morning are near or below freezing, so ice is expected on untreated roads.
The Met Office said frequent snow showers would follow a band of rain and sleet from the north.
Wintry showers will continue through Tuesday, becoming heavier and more frequent during the morning, before allowing some sunny spells in the afternoon.
As temperatures rise to a maximum of 6C during the day there is unlikely to be a further risk of ice and snow on lower roads.
The Met Office has warned of a "rollercoaster ride of temperatures" this week with unsettled weather across Northern Ireland.
