Gritters out in Shropshire as snow set to return
Snow is expected in Shropshire again tomorrow - with gritters out on the county's roads tonight and drivers urged to take care.
Telford & Wrekin Council said tomorrow's forecast showed the region can expect 1-2cm of snow between 8am and 9am.
A spokesman said: "Gritters will be treating the network this evening and again from 4am tomorrow.
"Please take care, particularly on untreated routes. You may wish to consider when and how you travel to avoid the heaviest snow."
Shropshire Council tweeted:
The Met Office has issued a Yellow Warning of snow and ice for parts of the UK including Wales and the west of the county.
It said: "A spell of rain, quickly turning to sleet and snow, will move southeast across the UK on Monday night and Tuesday, gradually weakening across England and Wales.
"Some roads and railways may be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. As rain, sleet and snow clears Northern Ireland and Scotland overnight Monday, ice may form on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."
Forecasters are predicting this week could be the coldest of winter so far.
Met Office forecaster Craig Snell said: “It’s going to be a cold week, plenty of dry weather around, but many places will probably see some snow at some point during the week.
“It will probably one of our coldest weeks of this winter.”
