Hampshire snow: The hour by hour forecast according to Met Office

This morning residents across the county woke up in a winter wonderland as heavy snow fell overnight.

Across Basingstoke, Winchester and the Test Valley schools have announced closures as pupils and staff struggle to make it in.

Stagecoach has already announced a number of disruptions to its services because of the snowfall.

A yellow weather warning in place from midnight until 9am on Thursday, March 9, covering most of Hampshire.

The Met Office has warned that the snow may cause disruption to travel, and that bus and train services may be delayed or cancelled.

Pavements, cycle paths and roads may become impassable and the public is advised to keep safe.
