Derbyshire snow: Met Office issues snow and ice weather warning for Derbyshire – here is updated weather forecast including Chesterfield, Matlock, Dronfield, Alfreton, Ilkeston, Heanor and the Peak District
Snow and ice might affect travel across Derbyshire and pose injury risk.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice, which will be in place across Derbyshire between 12am and 12pm on Friday, January 2.
The Met Office has warned that roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.
Icy patches might form on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths with injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces ‘possible’.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “An area of sleet and snow is expected to move southeastwards across parts of England and Wales, lasting approximately 2 or 3 hours in any one place.
“Where snow falls, 1 or 2 cm is likely for some and perhaps as much as 5 cm snow possible in a few spots, especially higher ground of north Wales and northwest England.
“Icy patches will also develop quickly as sleet and snow clears.”
