Extremely rare red warning issued as Storm Arwen BLIZZARD risks 'danger to life'
A snow plough is seen on the roads of Carrbridge in Scotland today"The most likely outcome is that most places will see rain with only a little sleet or snow in the heaviest bursts."
Stephen Dixon, a Met Office spokesman, said: "The worst-affected areas will predominantly be on the coasts, with gusts of over 75mph bringing possible disruption to travel and longer journey times, power cuts, flying debris and large waves, with beach material being thrown around. "The south-east and London, though fairly windy, are likely to escape the worst of the gusts and remain relatively calm in comparison to the rest of the country, which will certainly feel the impact of the storm."
Mr Dixon added: "As Arwen causes disruption there will also be the chance of snow in the coming days, especially in the higher regions of Scotland and northern England. "With this one, in addition to the sort of usual things, you know, structures would be at risk, people need to be aware of things like flying debris, falling trees, that sort of thing.
