As predicted by the Met Office, snow has been falling on the Isle of Wight overnight.
Police and the Isle of Wight council are advising drivers to take extra care on the roads. There have been several road accidents reported already this morning.
Shanklin Community Library is closed today due to the adverse weather.
Transport
Islandline Trains are suspended with a bus replacement service running between Shanklin and Ryde. It’s not clear whether this is snow related, although we have heard that one train has now left Ryde heading for Shanklin.
The Hover, Wightlink and Red Funnel services appear to be working as usual and all buses are running to schedule.
Schools and public services
At time of publishing (7.35) all schools on the Island are expected to open as normal, and waste collections will continue as scheduled.
