❄️ Heads up, Wales! A snow and ice warning is in place for 15 areas with flurries on the way as we roll into 2026. The Met Office has announced that the wintry conditions could bring disruptions from midnight on Friday until noon. Expect up to 5cm of snow in places like Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, and more. 🌨️
The chilly blast is set to usher in the New Year with freezing winds and arctic air across the UK. Mark your calendars as sleet and snow are expected to make their presence felt. The cold spell will linger into the first week, bringing widespread frosts and more snowfall potentially through the weekend.
If you’re in northern Scotland or the affected areas in Wales, do prepare for some travel interruptions. Untreated roads and walkways could be icy, posing a risk to safety. Stay safe by checking updates regularly and remember to wrap up warm! 🌬️❄️
For those travelling, whether by car or train, it’s wise to plan ahead and anticipate some delays. Let’s brace for a proper winter start – stay informed and keep warm, folks! 🧣🥶
