Devon is set for another round of frosty weather today as forecasters predict a wave of snow to sweep through the region. As much as 10cm could fall over some parts of Devon, particularly Dartmoor, with disruption likely on the roads and to rural communities.
The Met Office has warned of a risk of power cuts and poor driving conditions which may leave some motorists stranded on the roads. The Exeter-based forecaster has issued a yellow weather warning across much of the South West, lasting from 9am to 11.59pm.
“Whilst not all areas may be affected, outbreaks of snow may push in from the southwest during Wednesday, potentially giving some significant accumulations in places,” the Met Office said. “Two to five cm of snow could accumulate fairly widely, and as much as 10 cm over higher ground, especially over east or northeast-facing slopes.
“Rain or sleet is more likely near coasts. Note that there is still a possibility that the weather system, and associated rain or snow, may remain further south across the English Channel. As precipitation clears eastwards and skies clear during Wednesday night, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces.”
