THE GUARDIAN: Met Office warnings in place until Sunday as schools are closed and travel disrupted in Scotland
More snow has been forecast for the weekend after an Arctic blast brought the “first taste of winter for many” and the Met Office issued new weather warnings.
A yellow weather warning for frequent snow showers and possible hail is in place in many parts of north and west Scotland until midday on Thursday.
Between 2cm and 5cm (up to 2in) of snow is expected in many areas and it could reach 10cm in some parts of the north-west mainland, and 15-20cm (up to 7.9in) on higher ground, the Met Office said.
A yellow warning for ice has been posted from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning in most of Scotland, the East and West Midlands, east, north-east and north-west England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Yorkshire. » | Geneva Abdul and agency | Wednesday, November 20, 2024
