Last updated 29th Nov 2023
The Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice across parts of Cornwall this week.
It's in force from 3.00am - 4.00pm on Thursday (30 November) and the national weather service say it could lead to hazardous conditions in a few places.
The Kernow Weather Team say it could also snow outside of the yellow weather zone: "Spells of snow may develop over hills, especially parts of Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, Blackdown Hills and Exmoor during the early hours of Thursday before petering out later in the day.
"The highest parts of Dartmoor and perhaps Bodmin Moor may see 5-10cm of snow with some drifting in strong easterly winds.
"Elsewhere, accumulations are likely to be relatively small, perhaps 1-3cm at most, and mainly in areas inland and above 100-200m.
"In addition to this, icy patches may also develop on untreated surfaces."
What to expect
- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
- Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
- Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
