Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire issued with yellow Met Office weather warning for snow and ice

Newark and the surrounding area have been issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice.

The weather warning, issued by the Met Office, is in place between 9pm tomorrow (January 29) to noon on Wednesday (January 30).

The forecaster said: "A band of rain pushing east across parts of England is likely to turn to snow during Tuesday evening, with snow continuing into Wednesday.

"Accumulations of 1-3cm are likely quite widely, with accumulations of 5cm in places.

"There is a small chance that some areas could see up to 10cm, more especially over the higher ground. As this clears, ice is likely to form on some surfaces on Wednesday morning."

The yellow weather warning is the least severe issued by the Met Office.
