Mountain Road stays shut overnight due to snow and ice
DOIThe Isle of Man's Mountain Road will remain closed overnight due to snow and ice along some sections of the route.
Police said conditions had varied "tremendously" on the 14 miles between the Creg Ny Baa and Ramsey Hairpin, with some areas "extremely slippy" and others "virtually snow free".
The closure of the route has been extended until 10:00 GMT on Saturday.
A spokesman for the force said an inspection of the condition of the road will be held early in the morning that day.
A yellow weather warning had been in place earlier between midday and 16:00 GMT for large waves breaking over coastal roads and walkways bringing debris ashore.
As a result of the ongoing rough seas, the morning sailing of the Manxman from the island to Lancashire was pushed back by an hour to 09:00.
The knock-on effect of that saw the return journey to Douglas from Heysham Port delayed until 14:45.
It follows the cancellation of all of Thursday's ferry crossings due to the stormy weather.
