''Oh No '' More SNOW On the Way... !!!!

The February freeze is continuing, with weather forecasters predicting more snow for many 
parts of England and drivers being told to avoid some roads in cumbrian roads after a series of accidents.

There were more than 97 accidents in the county on Thursday morning as rain fell on freezing roads and immediately turned to sheet ice, making conditions treacherous.



The Met Office had earlier issued a severe weather warning of ice for the north. An amber warning has been issued for the north of England warning of widespread ice, with a yellow warning for snow and ice in many parts of England, Wales and Scotland.


The worst affected areas are likely to be east Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the east Midlands. There may be snow flurries in London this evening.


The Met Office said an area of rain had moved south from Scotland and into Wales and northern areas of England. "In places this rain is falling on to very cold surfaces, such as roads, and will freeze instantly, forming a layer of ice. Driving conditions could become hazardous, particularly where roads are untreated," it said.


An area of snow was expected to develop over east and north-east England later on Thursday, it said. During Friday this would extend into the south-west and central parts of England.
"Accumulations of up to 10cm are possible in the worst-affected regions
