Guernsey Issued Yellow Snow Warning

A yellow warning for snow has been issued for Guernsey. Jersey Met indicated that the island could experience some snow flurries during Thursday morning. “An active frontal system will bring a period of rain and sleet on Thursday morning which may turn to snow for a time,” the meteorological service stated. It added, “Minor, if any, accumulation of less than 5mm would be temporary, and more likely on higher ground.” Following the weather alert, the GSPCA announced it was on “full alert” and ready to “deal with a variety of animals affected by the low temperatures.” Manager Steve Bryne emphasized his aim to ensure pets and other animals were safe and adequately fed. Bryne advised, “Whether you have a rabbit living outside or wild birds visiting the garden, we would ask you to ensure your pets are protected and have all they need.” He further requested, “Where possible please help our wildlife by putting fresh food and water out for them if it does reach freezing temperatures.”
