Residents in Telford, Shropshire, are seeing a bright but cold Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2026, before a weather warning for snow and ice begins this evening.
The Met Office reports that the day started with frost and icy patches following a weather alert that ended at 10:00 AM. Cold air from the Arctic will keep the afternoon sunny and dry, but temperatures will remain low across the community.
A new weather warning for snow and ice starts at 9:00 PM tonight and will stay in place until Sunday, February 15. This shift will bring rain and snow on higher ground from the west, along with stronger winds that may affect evening plans at local venues like Apley Farm Shop or The Telford Hotel.
Chief Forecaster Rebekah Hicks said that snow could reach lower levels overnight as different air masses meet. Drivers are encouraged to be careful on local roads as the weather turns more difficult into Sunday morning.
While locals have been encouraging people to visit local shops for the holiday, the council will be monitoring road conditions. The cold weather is expected to lead to a wintry start for the rest of the weekend.
