The Met Office has issued a weather warning for snow and ice across parts of Herefordshire.

The warning comes into affect from midday and will remain in place until 12pm on Thursday.

Snow has fallen across parts of Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches overnight, with the Kington area seeing a covering of snow and parts of Mid Wales reporting a couple of inches. 

The Met Office warning issued says:

“Showers will affect the warning area, these falling as a mix of rain and hail near coasts, and sleet and snow inland at times, mainly overnight.

“This will lead to some temporary snow accumulations at low levels, whilst higher ground of Northern Ireland and Wales in particular, could see a further 2-5 cm of snow. For most parts of the warning area, however, ice will be the main hazard.”
