Warnings as snow falls in west of England

The west of England has been hit by heavy snowfall, with forecasters warning of hazardous road conditions and disruptions to travel.

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across several counties in the west of England, including Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire.

Drivers are being urged to take extra care on the roads, with icy conditions expected to make driving more dangerous. Public transport services may also be impacted, so passengers are advised to check for any delays or cancellations.

People are being reminded to wrap up warm and take precautions against the cold weather, as temperatures are expected to remain below freezing in some areas.

Local authorities are working to grit roads and clear snow from major routes, but residents are being encouraged to stay indoors if possible and only travel if absolutely necessary.
