Yellow Warning of Snow

Date published: 13 February 2013


Sleet and snow will continue to spread eastwards across many northern and central parts of the UK during today (Wednesday 13 February).

Accumulations of 2 to 4 cm of snow could occur temporarily at lower elevations, with around 10 cm above 200 metres across northern England and Scotland, where drifting is possible in the strong winds.

Snow will turn to rain from the west during the afternoon and evening, although there will be a short phase of rain falling onto sub-zero surfaces, mainly affecting routes above 200 metres, and leading to an enhanced risk of ice.

The public should be aware of the risk of disruption, particularly to travel.
