The Met Office has extended the time and upgraded its weather warning for ice and snow it issued yesterday.

Initially the warning was due to last until 11am today, but the warning now remains in effect until midnight.

Parts of Cumbria have also been issued with an amber weather warning for snow today between 12.43pm and midnight.

It said: “Snow showers continue to move in from the Irish Sea across the area, with these heavy at times, with the odd rumble of thunder. A further two to five centimetres, locally 10cm to 15cm of snow is possible before showers begin to ease overnight.”

What to expect if you live in the amber weather warning area

  • Travel delays on roads are likely, stranding some vehicles and passengers
  • Power cuts are likely and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
  • There is a good chance that some rural communities could become cut off
  • Some delays and cancellations to rail and air travel are likely

What to expect if you live in the yellow weather warning area

The Met Office said showers were expected to continue for much of the day, falling as rain near immediate coasts, but as sleet and snow inland.

Around one to three centimetres of snow was possible at low levels, with two to five centimetres for higher ground.

It added: “A few rumbles of thunder are also likely, mainly near coasts. Icy conditions will be possible, especially later.”

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces

Cumbria police have also warned drivers, road users and pedestrians to take extra care on the county’s roads and to not leave cars unattended while defrosting them.

Drivers are advised to store the following items in their car for emergencies: warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de-icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger.
