Snow alert for morning commuters

Commuters in the region are facing more disruption this morning with forecasters predicting heavy snowfall.

The weather could make the morning rush hour hazardous for many, with ice continuing to be a problem in some areas. The worst affected parts of the country are predicted to be over the high ground of north east England and eastern Scotland.

Martin Young, Met Office chief forecaster, said: “Many parts will stay icy over the next few days, and there is the continuing risk of some snow at times almost anywhere.

“Everyone should keep up to date with the latest weather information and plan ahead for possible travel delays and disruption to transport during this spell of wintry weather.”
