More travel chaos is expected throughout the South West today, with another icy day on the roads forecasted. Weather experts say rain, sleet and snow is expected to fall on frozen ground, leading to ice patched on some untreated surfaces and there may be further traffic disruption in the area.
Another weather warning has been issued by the Met Office for icy roads on Friday morning (January 10). The yellow alert, which includes most of Devon, including Plymouth, as well as parts of Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, is in place from 3am-11am today.
The Met Office said: “Outbreaks of rain, sleet and patchy snow spreading northeastwards on Friday morning, falling onto frozen ground, may lead to some icy patches on untreated surfaces for a time. Any accumulating snow will be largely reserved for hills, where a patchy 1-2 cm may accumulate above 150m elevation, and a small chance of 3-5 cm over Dartmoor.
“The extent of any precipitation across the north and east of the warning area, for example across Wales, is more uncertain, and it may remain largely dry here.”
