BBC News - UK Snow: Disruption warning Commuters and drivers are facing disruption with snow and freezing weather forecast for parts of the UK. The Met Office has issued an amber "be prepared" warning overnight in south Devon and Dartmoor with up to 10cm (4ins) of snow expected. There are yellow "be aware" warnings across eastern and southern areas. Snow has settled in areas including Cheshire and Derbyshire, and parts of the south. The RAC expects call-outs to increase by a fifth over the next few days. The Met Office is warning there could be up to 5cm (2ins) of snow in many parts of eastern and southern England while up to 10cm is predicted in areas including parts of eastern Scotland and north-east England. Ice warning The BBC's Nina Ridge said temperatures would drop away in the early hours of Monday, bringing snow showers and a freeze with the potential for some ice. That will be followed by a bitterly cold day with a brisk, north-easterly wind driving in snow showers across parts of the country. While temperatures of 1C to 2Cwould be common, it would feel more like -8C to -5C because of winds in some areas, she said. On Monday afternoon and into Monday night there was the potential for more significant snow to fall over the south-eastern corner of England. RAC spokesman Pete Williams warned motorists they should "proceed with caution." He encouraged drivers to leave time to prepare cars by heating them up, clearing windscreens and making sure lights are working. "Leave plenty of room between yourself and the car in front and beware there may well be occasional stretches of black ice which could well cause you to skid," he added. The Highways Agency, which maintains motorways and major roads in England, said it had "over 500 winter vehicles - salt spreaders, ploughs and snow blowers - on standby at over 100 depots to help keep traffic moving." "We advise people to check local weather conditions and be prepared to allow more time for their journey," a spokesman said.
