A new amber weather warning has been issued as the Met Office increases the severity of its forecast for the next few days. This new warning comes as large parts of the country are already covered by yellow warnings for snow and ice.

The AA said this morning that the A285 cannot be used in either direction between Selhurstpark Road and Burton Park Road near Petworth because of the snow.

Snow on Ditchling Road, by Hollingbury in Brighton, has also been deemed ‘impassable’ both ways from Underhill Road to Coldean Lane.

However, this evening, many roads across Sussex have now cleared following both rainfall and warmer temperatures melting away the snow.
