The Met Office has said 'significant accumulations of snow are possible'
A two-day weather warning for snow has been issued for Nottinghamshire as the county braces itself for disruption. The Met Office warning comes into force at 9am on Saturday, January 4.
The Met Office said: "Outbreaks of rain spreading progressively northeastwards later on Saturday and overnight into Sunday will likely be preceded by a spell of snow on its northern flank. Whilst there is some uncertainty, any snow in southern and eastern parts of England, especially at low levels, will probably be rather transient before turning back to rain.
"In addition, as milder air moves northwards, snow may turn to a spell of freezing rain for a time, again more especially across parts of Wales, the Midlands and northern England, adding to the risk of ice and leading to some treacherous conditions in places. A fairly rapid thaw of lying snow is possible later on Sunday, although exactly how far north the rapid thaw will reach remains uncertain at this stage.
The Met Office added there was also a chance of power cuts and 'a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off'. The UK Health Security Agency has also issued an amber cold health alert for the East Midlands with a score of 12 out of a maximum of 16.
