During Friday evening the winds are expected to veer northwesterly and decrease. The public are advised to take extra care. Issued at: 1114 Fri 16 Mar Heavy Snow 0600 Sun 18 1200 Wed 21The Met Office continues to predict a change to markedly colder conditions, with periods of disruption from snow and ice. The first of these comes from heavy snow showers on Sunday in Scotland and Northern Ireland, extending south to western parts of England and Wales on Monday morning. Further spells of snow and hail are likely to affect other areas during the rest of Monday into Wednesday, transferring from the north and west, to eastern England by Wednesday. Most central parts should stay dry. Falls of 2-3 cm will occur at lower levels, 10-15 cm mainly over some higher routes, mainly during the night time and early morning periods. Most of the snow at low levels will melt by day but will refreeze by night to give icy stretches on roads. Winds could gust to 60 mph or more in Scotland leading to temporary blizzard conditions.

Sudden Stop Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I see the Met office has the snow warning valid till Wednesday. Orkney and Shetland weather warnings Tommorow's your last chance to buy a loaf of bread or a pint of milk at the coop before the panic buying clears the place out. And anybody out there that's thinking about going for a walk up Ronas Hill had better not bother, and don't say you weren't told.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
