More snow could be on the way in Hertfordshire, Essex and London this weekend as the Met Office issued a two-day weather warning.

The weather forecaster has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice which is in place from 12pm on Saturday, February 6 to 11.59pm on Sunday, February 7.

It said that "snow showers in the far north-east of the UK will spread southwards” and there is a "chance of heavier snow for a time in the south”.

The warning added that:

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

The Met Office said on its website: “Cold air, along with snow showers to low levels pushing inland from the North Sea, is expected to spread south during the weekend. Not all locations will see snow, with the showers likely to miss some places altogether. In addition to the showers, there is a chance that an extended period of more persistent snowfall could impact parts of the Midlands and southeast England overnight Saturday and through Sunday.

“This is all likely to bring areas of accumulating snow through the period with some icy stretches developing, with some parts seeing 5-10 cm, possibly 15 cm of snow. Although disruption from this event could occur anywhere within this region, the Midlands and south-east England is the area most likely to see disruptive snow accumulating more widely, from later Saturday until the middle of Sunday.”
