HEREFORDSHIRE has been warned by the Met Office that it's facing four days of snow and ice.

Large swathes of London, the Midlands, the south, south west plus the east of England and Wales have also been warned that snow and ice could hit on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Met Office yellow warning suggests that up to two to five cm of snow could fall across parts of southern Wales, central and southern England, and there is a small chance of 10 to 15cm settling in a few places, most likely on high ground above 200 metres.

There is also a risk widespread ice could form on untreated surfaces as the rain and snow clears on Wednesday night.

It comes after days of wintry weather over the Christmas period which brought flooding to parts of southern England before Storm Bella arrived on Boxing Day with winds of more than 100mph.

On Monday morning, parts of Herefordshire were covered with a dusting of snow, including in Bromyard and near Kington.

Here are the weather warnings in place this week for Herefordshire:

Monday 6pm - Tuesday 10am: yellow warning for snow and ice. The Met Office says icy surfaces will develop, with a little snow in places.

"Ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces during Monday night, especially where showers move well inland," it added.

"Some of the showers will be wintry and could produce 2 to 5 cm lying snow above 250 metres, mostly over the Pennines and North York Moors where up to 10 cm is possible.

"Elsewhere, most places will see little or no snow, but a slight covering of a centimetre or so is possible in a few places."

Wednesday 10am - Thursday 6am: yellow warning for snow and ice. The Met Office says  there's a small chance of disruption from snow and ice.

"An Atlantic frontal system looks likely to bring rain into parts of southwestern Britain on Wednesday," a spokesperson added.

"As this moves further east into colder air there is a chance of this rain turning to snow. The extent of any snow is very uncertain, but 2 to 5cm could fall across a swathe of southern Wales, central and southern England, with a small chance of 10 to 15cm settling in a few places, most likely on high ground above 200 metres.

"As the rain and snow clears on Wednesday night there is a risk of widespread ice forming on untreated surfaces."
