Shropshire escaped the worst of the blizzards as an Arctic snap swept over the UK yesterday, but forecasters warned there could be more snow to come causing some disruption to travellers.
Despite warnings of a possible 10cm to 15cm of snow falling in the county yesterday, most of the region suffered from heavy rain and sleet with just a thin dusting of snow.
But on higher ground in the north of the county and in the Shropshire Hills substantial amounts of snow fell with areas around Oswestry being covered by a coating of several inches.
