Isle Of Wight Included In Yellow Weather Warning For Snow And Ice

Islanders are being told to brace themselves for 'a few centimetres of snow' as the cold weather continues.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice, with immediate effect.

The alert is in place between 9.52am today (Sunday) until 1pm.

It said:

“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.”

The forecaster warned of icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
