Warning of snow and ice for Gwent
THE Met Office has given a warning for ice across Gwent and said snow showers will continue this evening before slowly becoming lighter and more isolated overnight. A further 1-3cm is likely in places whilst icy stretches are likely on untreated surfaces where snow melts and re-freezes.
They added that snow showers have struggled to settle on roads during the daytime but as road temperatures fall this evening settling will take place more readily, although the frequency and intensity of snow showers will tend to reduce. Ice will form on untreated roads and pavements that have been left wet by melted snow from the daytime.
