Ice warning issued across Oxfordshire

The warning covers the South of England as we're being urged to take extra care on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths

Met Office Yellow Weather Warning for Ice
Published 8th Jan 2024

A yellow weather warning for ice has been issued across the South of England for this afternoon and into tomorrow morning (8th-9th January).

The Met Office says it has been put in place for Oxfordshire from 3pm until 3am.

Forecasters say we could also see small amounts of snow which could lead to slippery surfaces in some places, especially on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

In a statement, bosses at the Met Office said: "Parts of southern Britain are likely to see some snow showers during Monday afternoon and the first part of the night.

"Most places will see little or no lying snow, but 1-2 cm may settle in one or two places, mostly over high ground.

"In addition, some icy surfaces are possible for a time. However, the chance this reduces by dawn on Tuesday as snow showers clear to the west and surfaces dry out."
