The icy weather and shortage of buses have been having a knock-on effect for shops and businesses.
At the start of what should be the busiest time of year, the number of shoppers out in Douglas earlier today (Monday) was noticably down.
Manager of the Strand Shopping Centre John Shakespeare says the weather has put some people off:
Manx Whisky Company 'proud' to bring gold awards back to the Isle of Man
Small Baldrine-based distillery wins big on the world stage
Green Lounge gets approval
Consumption passes open today
Product recall issued after asbestos found in sand
Unclear whether craft set is available in Isle of Man shops
Island set for 'Uber Eats style' delivery service
Hopes Dazzler will become 'centralised platform' for Manx eateries
