Occasional snow showers, some heavy, are likely to move south across parts of northeast England overnight and during Thursday morning, with a few also reaching Norfolk later. 1-3 cm of snow accumulating in places and possibly 4-7 cm over some hills of northeast England. The showers falling as sleet at times at the coast. Icy stretches will also form on untreated surfaces. What should I do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
