The Met Office has issued a yellow ice warning for Carlton, Nottinghamshire, which remains in place until 10:00 AM on Saturday, February 14, 2026. The alert follows a night of freezing temperatures that have left many local surfaces slippery and hazardous for the morning.
Temperatures are expected to stay at or near 0°C until about 9:00 AM, though wind chill factors will make it feel as cold as -3°C. Local residents are advised to take extra care on pavements and roads to avoid injuries from slips and falls, as well as potential travel delays for bus services.
According to Nottinghamshire County Council, gritting teams focus their efforts on major A and B roads and primary bus routes. This coverage represents roughly one-third of the total road network in the county, meaning many residential side streets may remain untreated.
Conditions are forecast to become more difficult on Sunday, February 15, 2026, with a high chance of sleet and snow arriving in the early morning. People travelling across the area are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys and stick to main gritted routes whenever possible.
