This is the situation 200 miles west of Stafford this morning.

Dry snow blowing off the hard surfaces, so the roads are generally OK.


However, this was the situation there on the 20th of March last year, just coming down from the bridge over the M7.

Bad down south taking Gurly home to Carterton yesterday, snow blowing off the fields. Had to turn around about three miles from Burford, next best alternative also blocked, ended up having a twenty odd mile detour. Saw several abandoned cars and an upside down taxi.

Met Office has just sent me a yellow snow and ice warning for tomorrow.

Periods of freezing rain, with snow in Scotland later, leading to some dangerous travelling conditions.

Freezing rain is expected to develop during Saturday, lasting into the early hours of Sunday. This may result in the formation of ice on roads, pavements, trees and other structures. Freezing rain is rare in the United Kingdom, but when it does occur impacts can be severe. This is due to the fact that it can form very quickly, it can be difficult to see, and is incredibly slippery. Freezing rain is likely to change to snow before it dies out across parts of Scotland, bringing some accumulations of 2-5 cm. The freezing rain and snow will be accompanied by strong southeasterly winds which will pose an additional hazard to travel, in particular over high ground.

What to expect
  • Possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers
  • Possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel
  • Some rural communities could become cut off
  • Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
  • A chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Bus and train services may be delayed or cancelled, with some road closures and longer journey times possible
  • Untreated pavements and cycle paths might be impassable because of black ice

Followed almost instantly by an upgrade to an amber warning.

Freezing rain is expected to result in the rapid development of widespread ice, with very dangerous travelling conditions likely.

What to expect
  • Injuries from slips and falls and danger to life on icy surfaces are likely
  • Black ice may form quickly affecting bus, train and air travel
  • Dangerous driving conditions are likely leading to road traffic collisions, road closures and longer journey times
  • Pavements and cycle paths likely to become instantly impassable because of the sudden formation of black ice
  • Power and other services, such as telephone and mobile phone coverage, likely to be interrupted or cut
