During snow, schools and colleges may be shut for the day or have to close early for reasons of health and safety, or because staff cannot safely get to their work. Armed with the correct frequency, you can tune in to local traffic, travel and weather conditions via your local BBC or independent radio station in your car or before you leave. You can listen on FM or DAB to many local stations, which will read out lists of schools and colleges that will be closed in your local area. Typically in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland (which have large BBC stations covering these regions), your local commercial station is the best place to find out this information on the radio, where it's easier for smaller, local stations to read out shorter lists of closures. Tune in from 6.30-7.00am to hear the latest information.
