Weather Warning – we have received this warning from Hampshire County Council for possible snow coming in this weekend.

Friday 3rd into Saturday 4th February - A band of snow moving into eastern England from the North Sea is expected to give accumulations of 2cm or so quite widely, and perhaps 5cm in places, including parts of Hampshire. Although timing is uncertain the snow is likely to be most widespread and heaviest late on Friday evening. After midnight it will tend to die out, but untreated roads may remain icy well into Saturday morning. The public are advised that some travel disruption may result.

Saturday 4th into Sunday 5th February - A band of snow will continue to move slowly eastwards across England during the first half of Sunday. This may be heavy initially but will tend to die out during Sunday morning into the afternoon. Total accumulations from this snow event are likely to be of order 5-10cm in many places; this includes low lying areas. The public are advised that this is likely to lead to some travel disruption, and should pay close attention to forecasts as the event approaches

Early next week - The outlook for the beginning of next week is for the potential for rain to move in. However, any rain falling as snow is only likely to settle on higher ground. All being well, this will be a relatively short period of snow fall for Hampshire.
