Full List of Areas Hit by New Weather Warnings for Snow and Ice
Two yellow warnings cover much of the UK with snow accumulations up to 15 cm on higher ground and icy patches expected, risking travel disruption this weekend.
- On Saturday, February 14, the Met Office issued yellow warnings covering all of Scotland and northern England from 9pm until 10am on Sunday, February 15.
- With Arctic maritime air sweeping across the country, outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards on Saturday night will fall as snow initially before milder air from the west arrives, and temperatures will fall below freezing increasing ice risk on untreated surfaces, Met Office spokesperson said.
- On higher ground above 400m, temporary snow accumulations of 1-3 cm are expected at low levels, 3-7 cm above about 150m, and 10-15 cm above 400m, with icy patches likely in North East England and parts of Scotland.
- Road and rail users face longer journey times, so drivers should carry essentials and plan to leave at least five minutes earlier.
- Snow will turn to rain into Sunday morning, and the Environment Agency urged vigilance after protecting more than 24,000 homes and business while around 330 suffered flooding.
