The Met Office warns of blustery, wintry showers in areas covered by the yellow snow warning. It says: “Accumulations of snow are likely to be quite small over low-lying areas until the overnight period, when 1-3 cm may occur away from the immediate coast.
“However, over higher ground, for example the North York Moors and Wolds, accumulations of snow around 5 to 10 cm may build up.

“And as we all know... never eat yellow snow. I hardly think the Met Office need to warn us of this though.”

“I quote the first line !
"A yellow weather warning of snow is in place in Leicester today"
Then it says
"The Met Office predicts Wednesday afternoon will be cold and cloudy"
"The Met Office forecasts a dry night in Leicester"
"Thursday is forecast to be cloudy with sunny intervals"
Is that what you call hedging your bets?”
