Warning of ice for our area extended
The Met Office warn snow or sleet could fall on icy surfaces
Last updated 7th Jan 2021
A Yellow warning about ice across our area from this evening has been extended until late tomorrow night.
The Met Office warn that ice stretches are likely to form, causing disruption to travel, and that snow will fall in some places.
The warning runs from 5 o’clock this evening until midnight tomorrow.
What to expect
• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
• Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
• Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
The Met Office statement warning says:
“ Whilst ice is expected to be the most widespread hazard, snow is likely in places too. Snow is most likely to fall over The Pennines, North York Moors and the high ground of Wales and southwest England, with 2-5 cm possible here.
"Elsewhere, whilst some snowfall is possible, accumulations are likely to be slight and temporary. Freezing fog patches are also likely to persist and may prove an additional hazard with areas of visibility less than 100 m at times.”
