Snow hits Worcestershire (From Worcester News)

Snow hits Worcestershire

8:15am Friday 22nd March 2013 in News By Sarah Taylor

DESPITE being two days into spring snow has hit Worcestershire overnight.

So far the A449 Wells Road is closed due to snow and a broken down vehicle at the B4209 Hanley Road, near to The Cottage in the Wood Hotel. 

Worcestershire County Council are reporting that the Chawson Community First School in Wych Road, Droitwich, is closed to Year's 2 and 3, as there is no heating. The Reception class and Year's 1 and 4 are still to go into school. 

And it seems there is more to come as the Met Office predicts another 20-40 cm of snow in places, with drifting and blizzard conditions due to the strong to gale force southeasterly winds.

At lower levels, there is a chance that parts of the north Midlands, north east Wales and north west England may see 10-15 cm of snow.

Further snow is also forecast throughout the weekend in Worcestershire.
