Amber warning for snow in parts of Yorkshire as major disruption from Storm Goretti expected
It could mean transport disruption and some communities being cut off
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for heavy snow from Thursday evening into Friday, covering parts of West and South Yorkshire.
The snowfall, brought by Storm Goretti, will mean trains and buses could be delayed or cancelled, rural communities may be cut off, and power cuts or disruption to mobile signal are likely, forecasters said.
The warning stretches covers the Peak District, north Derbyshire and southern parts of Kirklees in West Yorkshire.
It comes into force at 8pm on Thursday and ends at 9am on Friday.
A less serious yellow warning for snow covers much of the rest of Yorkshire, from 5pm tomorrow until midday the following day.
