🌨️ Brrr! Winter’s making its grand entrance in the UK, and we’re all advised to adopt a handy “five-minute rule” to beat the chill and stay safe. As freezing temps roll in, accompanied by up to 5cm of snow in some parts, the Met Office is urging everyone to plan for extra time on journeys this week, starting from Tuesday. 🚶♂️🚗
❄️ The warning stretches across many regions, with ice and snow alerts in effect from northern Scotland to southern England, including Wales and all of Northern Ireland. Main roads are your friends, so if you’re walking or cycling, stick to these safer, likely gritted routes! For drivers, keep an eye on road conditions and be ready for potential plan changes.
🧥 Layer up and prepare for the winter chill as Arctic air settles in. Wednesday and Thursday seem to be the chilliest, so bundle up! While snow may not blanket everywhere, areas with frequent showers could see 2-5cm of snow, and Scotland’s high ground could get up to 25cm. 🌬️
Stay updated with weather alerts and remember, being in the know keeps you prepared. Don’t forget those thermals! 🧣#WinterIsHere #StaySafe #WeatherAlert
