Snow and freezing temperatures set for Wakefield all weekend

The Met Office have a yellow warning out for Wakefield, which means there is snow and ice expected this evening and into Sunday morning which may lead to some disruption to transport and infrastructure.

The Met Office says some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, there will probably be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths and there is potential for some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

Temperatures aren’t expected to reach higher than two degrees today (Saturday) while it will at least drop to zero overnight.

The BBC predicts that snow will fall in Wakefield across the weekend, turning to sleet on Monday.
