More snow and ice forecast for two counties


A weather warning for more snow and ice has been issued covering much of Shropshire and Staffordshire.

The yellow Met Office warning runs from 15:00 GMT on Sunday until 12:00 on Monday.

It said the conditions could cause disruption on the roads and railways, and urged drivers to take extra care, particularly on untreated routes.

Minimum temperatures of -5C are forecast for around Oswestry, and -8C in the Staffordshire Moorlands on Sunday, with highs barely above zero.

The Met Office warning covers most of Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent, and the north of Shropshire, as far south as Shrewsbury and Telford.

The UK Health Security Agency upgraded its cold-health alert from yellow to amber earlier in the week, and on Friday extended it until 9 January.

It said those with health conditions and over 65 were particularly at risk.
