Forecasters warn of icy weekend ahead

LIGHT snow looks set to continue in Bristol into the early hours of Saturday.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice for the city during Saturday daytime, which advises people to "be aware" of weather conditions.

Although some further slight snowfalls are likely, with 1cm to 2 cm of fresh snow in a few places, the focus switches to ice, with sub-zero temperatures persisting over existing snow cover for many areas and spreading back into parts of the southwest towards daybreak on Saturday. 

The Met Office states: "The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to transport during this spell of wintry weather."
