Met Office issues yellow weather warning as snow falls across Stoke
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the next two days as heavy snow falls in Stoke-on-Trent.
The warning is in place from 7am today (9 March) to 2pm tomorrow (10 March).
The Met Office warn that there may be possible delays on roads, delays or cancellations to rail travel and some rural communities could become cut off.
There is also potential for strong winds, which may lead to blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow. Ice is likely to develop widely on Friday night as this system clears away.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said: "The boundary between milder and colder air will slowly move north through Wednesday and overnight, moving the chances of snow further north with it.
"Snow will have settled quite widely in central parts of the UK as we move into Thursday morning leaving tricky conditions for the morning travel period."
