Met Office issues weather warning for snow and ice in Norfolk this week

Residents in Norfolk are being warned to brace themselves for snow and ice, with a weather warning issued as temperatures plummet.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for all of Norfolk from 5pm tomorrow until 11am on Friday, stating that showers will lead to icy patches developing.

They have told residents that some roads and railways are likely to be affected leading to longer journey times; some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces; and some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

It comes as the country is experiencing a blast of cold air from northern Scandinavia.

Daytime temperatures have dropped to cold, single-digit figures in the county this week – with these cold temperatures likely to continue into next week.
