Huddersfield, England, United Kingdom Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Information on update: Snow has now become more restricted to higher ground and reducing from the west, so area shrunk and end time brought forward. A band of rain and snow will continue to move east across Scotland and northern England during Sunday morning. Snow will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but may fall to low levels for a time, before turning to rain.

Whilst not all areas will see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5 cm is likely in places, before snow turns back to rain. Above 200 metres elevation 10 to 20 cm is possible. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow.

Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances.

In addition, there is a risk of freezing rain across the east of the area for a few hours during Sunday morning, perhaps leading to widespread ice that would affect all surfaces. Ice from freezing rain, also know as black ice or glaze, is difficult to see and difficult to clear.
