Snow Watch 2007 Update

The met office have now upgraded their severe weather early warning which warns of possible disruption due to heavy snow.

This now includes Oxfordshire with an increase from below 20% to a 30% risk of severe disruption.

This warning is in force from 0600 on Sunday through to 1200 on Wednesday.

The met office is predicting snow showers with strong winds, with some showers merging to give longer spells of snow potentially giving accumulations of 2-5 cm at low levels. Any snow fall is expected to melt during the day but freeze over night.

The bulk of the showers are expecting to cross central England during Monday.

Further updates as the situation becomes clearer.
