"The snow is expected to clear east before dawn on Thursday. Travel delays are possible on roads with a risk that some vehicles and passengers could become stranded.

"Delays or cancellations are possible to rail and air travel. Some rural communities could become cut off. Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone, may be affected."
