Hello all,
As the 'S' thing always causes that extra frisson of excitement we will share this updated Yellow warning detail with you from the Met office, although we do try to keep it to amber usually and maybe red at worst.
The map issued with the warning suggests the further East you are in our 'patch' the less likely it is that snow will be involved. So at present Bath may be on the dividing line!
If correct some travel home journeys may be a bit challenging. This would apply too for school - home travel. At present it is too early to come to a conclusion on any proportionate action necessary, so we'll keep a close eye on updates and let you know any updates.
Here's the information:
Issued: Mon 28 Jan 09:55
Between 12:00 Tue 29th and 11:00 Wed 30th
Headline
Rain turning to snow, especially on hills, then turning icy.
What to expect
Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
Probably some ice on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
Further details
A band of rain will arrive across Wales, northern and western England through the middle of Tuesday, then move eastwards through Tuesday afternoon and evening. The rain will turn quickly to snow on hills, then also to low levels in places. 3 to 5 cm snow is likely above 200 metres, with up to 10 cm in a few places. A patchy covering of 1 to 2 cm is possible at low levels, although some places will see no snow at all. As skies clear overnight, ice is likely to form on some surfaces. In addition, wintry showers will follow into western areas on Wednesday morning, giving further slight accumulations of snow in a few places.
All the best.
Bill
