PARTS of Herefordshire have woken up to snow on Bank Holiday Monday — with more forecast throughout the day.
This was the scene near Bromyard this morning where snow had been falling at around 5am.
It's after the Met Office issued a snow and ice warning for Monday in Herefordshire.
It said:
- Rain may turn to snow, which along with widespread ice, may mean some disruption to travel.
- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.
- People shoud be wary of slipping and falling on icy surfaces
- There will probably be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
The warning is active from midnight until 6pm on Monday.
