Amber warning of snow in place

An amber warning of snow now is now in place for Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Gloucestershire.

It comes as the Met Office forecasts more snowfall and chilly temperatures for the week.

The warning means we can expect longer periods of snowfall than yesterday, along with very low temperatures.

It also means there is the likelihood of travel delays on roads, with some stranded vehicles and passengers, as well as delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.

Some rural communities could be cut off. We could also get power cuts and other services, such as mobile phones, could be affected.
