SNOW and ice are expected in Romsey at the weekend, with the Met Office issuing a new weather warning.

A yellow 'be prepared' warning for the market town will be in force from 12pm on Saturday to 11.59pm on Sunday.

Temperatures in Romsey are expected to plummet to 0C on Sunday night, with a "feels like" temperature of -5C.

Snow showers in the far north-east of the UK are expected to spread southwards, with there being a chance of heavier snow for a time in the south.

The Met Office has said people should expect:

  • A small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel
  • A small chance power cuts will happen and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.
  • A slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off and a small chance that untreated pavements and cycle paths become impassable.
