Rain, sleet, flooding and freezing temperatures could lead to hazardous travel conditions, says Met Office
A three-day heavy snow warning has been issued by the Met Office as thousands of households mopped up after torrential new year rain led to flooded properties, travel chaos and power cuts.
Temperatures could plunge to well below freezing at the weekend with up to a foot of snow across England, Scotland and Wales – leading to rural areas being cut off, schools closures and road, rail and flight problems, forecasters said.
