SNOW HITS BIRMINGHAM

More weather chaos is heading our way, with ice and snow already hitting areas across Birmingham. The whole of Britain has been warned to expect more storms towards the end of the week, with ground conditions in the wake of previous bad weather making more flooding all but inevitable. The Met Office has now issued a severe weather warning for rain and snow on Friday, going into the weekend, and issued a statement saying: 'The public should be aware of possible disruption, primarily due to further flooding, chiefly in areas already, or recently, affected'.
