The Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning for tomorrow (Saturday, March 11), stating that ice patches are likely to cause "injuries." After a week which has seen heavy snowfall lead to major disruptions throughout the East Midlands, the region has now been alerted to the dangers posed in areas where snow has fallen.
The last couple of days (Thursday, March 9 and Friday) has seen bus and tram services across Nottinghamshire affected by the snow, with some bus services being partially cancelled. On two occasions East Midlands Airport has had to put a temporary runway closure in place as a result of the weather.
Schools up and down the county have also been forced to close today due to the conditions. Now, the Met Office has put another yellow weather warning in place, writing that: "Ice is likely to be a hazard where snow has fallen overnight."
