Residents in Basingstoke and across Hampshire are being warned to prepare for an icy morning on Thursday, January 9, as The Met Office issued yet another yellow weather warning for the region.
The Met Office predicts that many cold wet surfaces be frozen this morning following rain and snow, producing icy conditions in places.
The warning is in place from 00.15am until 10.30am this morning.
Icy stretches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths are likely to increase the chance of accidents and injuries
Temperatures are forecast to plummet as low as -3°C, with a daytime high of just 2°C.
Forecasters caution that the exact trajectory of the weather system remains uncertain, with a possibility that the snow and rain could remain further south over the English Channel.
As the precipitation clears on Wednesday evening and skies brighten, untreated surfaces are likely to freeze, creating icy conditions overnight.
The Met Office has also warned of potential disruptions, including a small chance of power outages and possible interruptions to mobile phone services.
Residents should stay updated on the forecast and take precautions when travelling, as icy surfaces and snowy conditions could pose hazards.
