Outbreaks of rain spreading northeastwards on Friday morning will fall as snow initially, especially on hills, before reverting to rain and eventually easing. As much as 15-25 cm is possible above 300 m. Given the strong winds that will accompany the snow, temporary blizzard conditions are possible over higher ground, with some drifting also possible for a time. A lower levels, snow will be more transient in nature and accumulations smaller, patchier and shorter-lived as snow turns to rain during the morning. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de-icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
