Snow and ice weather warning issued across parts of Northamptonshire as New Year begins
A weather warning for snow and ice has been issued across parts of Northamptonshire.
Met Office has issued the warning for Friday January 2 from midnight until 12pm.
Northampton, Daventry, Towcester and much of the west of the county are covered by the warning for snow and ice, as well as the west Midlands and some of Wales.
The Met Office said: "An area of sleet and snow is expected to move southeastwards across parts of England and Wales, lasting approximately two or three hours in any one place. Where snow falls, one or two cm is likely for some and perhaps as much as five cm snow possible in a few spots.
"Icy patches will also develop quickly as sleet and snow clears.”
The authority also warns of delays on roads and railways, the possibility of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, as well as some icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
