Flood Warnings as Snow Thaws

Forecasters have warned that there might be localised flooding as warming temperatures thaw snow and rain moves in. Snow has covered much of the UK for over 10 days creating temporary surface stores. The melting snow will be unable to infiltrate as much of the UK is already saturated from a wet 2012. With no where to go the snow will run down hill to low lying areas and river valleys.
