ADVANCE WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER
Here is an ADVANCED WARNING of Heavy Snow affecting Scotland, Northern Ireland, North West England and North East England.
Issued by the Met Office at 09:11 on Saturday, 15 January 2005.
For enquiries regarding this warning - please contact your regional Met Office.
Transmitted by the Met Office at 09:11 on Saturday 15 January
The Met Office is forecasting a very strong, cold, west or northwesterly flow to become established across the UK during Monday. Frequent, heavy snow showers are likely to affect parts of northern Britain, in particular western and northern Scotland where 5-10cm of snow is likely in places, with over 15cm accumulating on high ground. Combined with severe gales and gusts to 70mph at times, blizzard conditions and drifting will occur, particularly over high ground, where untreated routes may become impassable. During Tuesday, somewhat less cold air will probably move across northern Britain and the more significant snow will become confined to high ground.
