County council issues advice after snow warning

Denbighshire County Council (DCC) has sent out a briefing about the Yellow Weather Warning issued for the area for later today and early tomorrow.

The warning, from the Met Office, says that between 7pm tonight (Monday) and 10am tomorrow (Tuesday) an area of snow may bring disruption to a central swathe of the UK during Monday night and Tuesday morning.

It adds that the most likely scenario is for most of the snow to accumulate on hills, with 5 to 10 cm possible above 200 metres and perhaps as much as 15 to 20 cm above 300 metres. 

There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where 5 to 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this remains very uncertain. As rain, sleet and snow clear on Tuesday morning, ice may form on untreated surfaces.

 

DCC says it has resources on standby throughout the warning period to respond to any weather-related incidents should they arise.

 

The council advises:
