Information on update: Snow amounts increased at first this morning. Reduction in eastern extent of warning area, but more of the northwest Midlands included. Further snow over the hills of northern England and North Wales giving 5-10 cm in places at first this morning. Rain also turning increasingly to snow at lower levels, particularly over northeast Wales and the northern parts of the Midlands, where 2-5 cm could accumulate. Snow will ease again later in the morning. . Icy stretches are likely to develop quite widely, making for some difficult travelling conditions. What should I do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area. Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
