A WARNING of a “severe weather event” for snow in the West Midlands has been issued by National Highways.
The alert for snow was issued between 10am this morning (January 6) and 6pm on Friday evening, covering the West Midlands and the north of England.
It comes as the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across much of the northern UK.
The West Midlands has not yet been issued with a yellow weather warning from the Met Office, but drivers have been urged to take care when out and about.
We have issued a severe weather alert for forecasted heavy snowfall in the North of England and the West Midlands from 10am today 06/01 until 6pm on Friday 07/01 .
