Snow weather warning issued for Bury this weekend

Bury: A yellow weather warning for snow and ice is on the way starting Saturday. The Met Office is saying we might see some heavy snow that could cause a bit of chaos over the weekend. The warning kicks in at noon on Saturday and lasts until 9 AM on Monday.

They’re predicting a sunny start to Saturday, but don’t get too comfy. Snow is expected to roll in around 9 PM, followed by heavy rain on Sunday. So, if you’ve got plans, you might want to keep an eye on the weather.

Travel could get tricky, with the Met Office warning about stranded vehicles and possible delays in rail and air travel. Some rural areas might even get cut off, so it’s best to be prepared.

The Met Office mentioned that while there’s some uncertainty about how much snow we’ll actually get, they’re expecting significant accumulations, especially in hilly areas. They’re talking about 5 cm or more in many places, and even up to 30 cm in the higher grounds of Wales and the Pennines.

To stay safe, they’ve got some tips. If you’re driving, plan your route and check for any delays. Make sure your car is ready to go, and pack some essentials just in case you get stuck. It’s also a good idea to prepare for possible power cuts by gathering some supplies like torches and batteries.

So, keep an eye on the weather updates and stay safe out there!
