People across the South are advised to prepare for winter weather today as the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow, cautioning that disruptions could continue until midnight.
Forecasters warn of potential power outages and travel difficulties, particularly in rural communities on higher ground, which might become isolated.
Snow accumulations of 2 to 5cm are expected widely, with amounts reaching up to 10cm in elevated areas. A weather system moving in on Wednesday may bring further snowfall to southern counties of England, potentially causing more disruptions.
Impact of Snowfall: What to Expect
- Power and Services: There's a small chance of power cuts, and services like mobile phone coverage could be affected.
- Community Isolation: Particularly in upland areas, some rural communities might become inaccessible.
- Travel Disruptions: Roads may see delays, with a possibility of stranded vehicles and passengers. Rail and air travel could also face delays or cancellations.
People should stay informed and consider safety precautions to navigate through potential challenges posed by this winter weather.
