Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
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.
Rain moving north across England today is expected to increasingly turn to snow over higher ground through the afternoon and evening. The snow will continue overnight and into Friday morning, although the altitude at which snow settles should steadily rise above that of most major trans-Pennine routes during the early hours of Friday.
While some sleet or snow is possible to lower levels for a time this evening, accumulating snow is mostly likely above 250 to 300 m with up to 5 cm possible. Much of this melting during Friday morning after the warning ends. Some places above 500 m may see 5-15 cm.
