BUCKINGHAMSHIRE is likely to escape heavy snow showers next week, forecasters say.

Already weather warnings have been made by the Met Office, telling residents to “be aware” of possible disruption caused by snow.

Much of eastern England and parts of the Midlands have been put on alert, with snow expected on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

But no weather warning has yet been made for Bucks.

Parts of Kent were disrupted by heavy snowfall last week.
