# Met Office Issues New Weather Warning as Snow to Hammer UK in Mere Days

The Met Office has announced a weather warning indicating that snow is expected to hit parts of the UK this weekend. The advisory comes in light of forecasts for significant snowfall that may lead to travel disruptions across various regions.

The warning specifies that travel delays could occur as early as this weekend. Road and rail traffic are anticipated to suffer from the inclement weather. According to The Met Office, "Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces. Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."

As temperatures drop, the risk of ice forming on untreated surfaces increases, causing potential hazards for pedestrians and cyclists alike. Residents are advised to be cautious and to prepare for possible changes in their travel plans as the wintry conditions develop.
