Snow warning and list of schools closed in Devon today

More than 200 schools are closed across Devon today and an amber weather warning in place as snow blanketed much of the county.

Heavier wintry showers and strong winds are forecast later this afternoon posing even more tricky conditions for drivers.

The Met Office has issued RED warning for the county with the risk of up to 20cm of snow countywide, with the possibility of 50cm on high ground of Dartmoor and Exmoor.

Snowfall is expected to spread north throughout the course of the day. Conditions could become more disruptive to travel as the day progresses.

Secondary gritting routes are again being treated by the County Council, and repeated treatments will be carried out on the main gritting network this evening and into the early hours of tomorrow.
