A WEATHER warning for snow has been issued across parts of Sussex this weekend.
The yellow Met Office alert covers parts of the county north of, and including, Haywards Heath and will be in place from 3am to 8pm tomorrow.
“A band of heavy snow may bring disruption as it moves eastwards on Saturday,” a spokesman for the weather service said.

As a result, people living in affected areas are being warned to expect:
- Possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel
- Possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers
- Some rural communities could become cut off
- Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
However, Brighton and Hove is outside the area covered by the yellow weather warning.
Temperatures in the city are expected to vary between 3C and 8C throughout the day, though they will feel colder due to icy winds.
