'Snow Joke' For Some Island Residents As Yellow Warning For Snow Issued

A yellow weather warning for snow covering parts of the Isle of Wight has been issued by the Met Office.

It comes after much social media speculation over the appearance of snow in the next few days.

The warning comes into force at midnight tonight (Sunday), covering northern parts of the Island including Cowes and East Cowes, and lasts until midnight on Wednesday.

The Met Office said:

'Frequent snow showers may lead to travel disruption in places. Some places are likely to miss the showers altogether.'

What to expect:

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. Small chance of longer travel delays in places with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off
  • There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
