Met Office issue amber weather warning for large parts of England as snow continues to fall

The Met Office has increased the severity of its warning of snow for parts of northern and central England. The new amber warning comes into effect at 3pm on Thursday March 9.

A new amber weather warning has been issued as the Met Office increases the severity of its forecast for the next few days. This new warning comes as large parts of the country are already covered by yellow warnings for snow and ice. The amber warning will be in place for areas down the spine of the country, with major cities such as Leeds and Sheffield included.
