As many as 25 areas across the UK could be hit by power cuts due to a 15-hour snowstorm coming today (Tuesday, November 18). Households are being warned of potential disruption from an Arctic blast, affecting travel and power supplies in various parts of Scotland, while a separate ice warning has been issued for the north of England.
The Met Office has issued a 15-hour yellow weather warning for snow, starting at 3am on Tuesday, November 18 and continuing through to 6pm, impacting seven areas in Scotland.
Meanwhile, in England, a yellow weather warning for ice could also bring snow and 'subzero' temperatures to parts of Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland, as well as Yorkshire, starting at 5am on Tuesday and lasting until midday, affecting another 18 areas.
The Met Office is warning of potential disruption to power supplies due to snow, urging households in affected areas to prepare. For its snow warning in Scotland, it said: "A period of snow on Tuesday could bring some disruption to transport and infrastructure across higher parts of Scotland.
"An area of rain will reach the west of Scotland early on Tuesday, before pushing erratically south and east through the morning, easing and clearing into the afternoon. Whilst there is some uncertainty as to the exact track and extent, a period of snow is likely over high ground, with accumulations of 2-5 cm possible above about 150 m elevation, and as much as 5-10 cm above 400 m.", reports the Express.
