Met Office issue warning for snow and ice for the Isle of Wight

The Met Office have just (Sunday morning) issued a weather warning for snow and ice for the Isle of Wight.

Valid from 9.52am to 1pm, the warning reads:

A mixture of rain and snow showers are moving onshore across Dorset, Hampshire and Isle of Wight.

With surfaces below freezing, this is leading to a combination of patchy ice, as well as a few centimetres of snow, particularly over higher ground inland.

Showers will clear east this afternoon.

What to expect

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces

You can stay up to date with the weather warning by visiting the Met Office Website.
