ICE has been bringing a few problems on the roads today with freezing conditions expected to continue all day.

With some snow and ice conditions in the south west this morning, drivers are being asked to stay local and if  they have to drive, drive with caution. 

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the north of Cornwall for a band of rain and snow followed by snow showers whoihc will bring some transport disruption from Sunday morning.

This will mean some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services with some higher level routes perhaps becoming blocked for a time.

The weather warning moves away from south and west Cornwall today but remains in place for the north and east of the Duchy, from Bodmin up, from 3am until 6pm.

The A394 was blocked in both directions this morning after a car skidded on the ice and crashed into a parked car.

In Penzance the A30 Westbound is closed due to an accident between Newtown roundabout and the A3071.

In Camborne there were reports of a broken down lorry on the A3047 Wesley Street between the Tesco Petrol Station and Centenary Street. The road has now been cleared.

In Roche there were reports of an overturned vehicle on the B3274 Trezaise Road between Chapel Road and Prosper Road. The road has now been cleared.

On the A30 in Heamoor there are reports of an accident, around Nancealverne near the Heamoor Roundabout

The colder conditions following Storm Christoph will remain until early next week, when conditions are due to become more unsettled once more With an emphasis on rainfall over the last few days, the focus for the UK forecast for the weekend and the early part of next is colder conditions and associated wintry hazards.

A number of National Severe Weather Warnings are in place over the weekend for ice and snow across swathes of the UK.

Steve Willington is a Chief Forecaster for the Met Office. He said: “The exit of Storm Christoph – which brought the heavy rain to a central band of the UK – has established a flow of colder air from Iceland and the Arctic. And this is bringing a mix of wintry hazards across the UK.

“In clearer conditions, overnight ice will remain a hazard, while a band of snow is likely to bring falls of 1-3cm quite widely across central areas of the UK, particularly the Cotswolds and higher ground in the East Midlands on Sunday.

But snow outside these areas is also a potential hazard.”

Chris Tubbs is a Deputy Chief Forecaster for the Met Office. He added: “The cold conditions are forecast to remain across the UK until Tuesday, when more Atlantic-dominated weather is due to exert an influence, gradually bringing milder, but wetter conditions to the UK once more, although this may take a while to reach the north-east of the UK.

"Once the certainty increases about which areas are most likely to be affected by potentially heavy rain, we may need to issue further warnings, especially if next week’s rainfall is likely to compound the impacts from this week.”
