A weather warning for more snow and ice has been extended to cover much of the west side of the West Midlands.<\/p>\n
The yellow Met Office warning runs from 15:00 GMT on Sunday until 12:00 on Monday.<\/p>\n
It said the conditions could cause disruption on the roads and railways, and urged drivers to take extra care, particularly on untreated routes.<\/p>\n
Minimum temperatures of -5C are forecast for around Oswestry, and -8C in the Staffordshire Moorlands on Sunday, with highs barely above zero.<\/p>\n
The Met Office warning has been extended to cover most of Staffordshire, Shropshire, Wolverhampton and the West Midlands conurbation, as well as parts of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.<\/p>\n
Snow showers are expected across parts of the region during Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
While not all locations in the warning area will see snow, 1-3 cm could develop in many places by Monday morning, with the potential for 5-8 cm to build up in a few locations, said the Met Office.<\/p>\n
The UK Health Security Agency upgraded its cold-health alert from yellow to amber earlier in the week, and on Friday extended it until 9 January.<\/p>\n
It said those with health conditions and over 65 were particularly at risk.<\/p>\n
