A ‘YELLOW' weather warning of snow and ice has been issued for Herefordshire overnight with between two and six centimetres of snow ‘likely’ in places.

The Met Office’s Chief Forecaster's assessment said: “2-6 cm of snow is likely in places, especially on higher ground above 100-200 m, where a few places in the Pennines and upland Wales may see more than 10 cm.

“A slushy cover of 1 to 3 cm seems more likely at lower levels and closer to the western coasts, as well as across most of southern England, with some areas here seeing very little or no snow. Drifting may occur on cross-Pennine routes in the strong to gale force winds.”
