Much of Northern England is also expected to be hit by the ice, which is likely to affect travelling conditions.

The Chief Forecaster’s assessment read: “As we enter a spell of cold weather, a band of rain and snow will move into the UK overnight and into Saturday. Over high ground in Scotland and across the higher Pennine routes, snowfall may amount to 2 or 3 cm in places.

However the main hazards seem more likely to come from ice, where rain falls on frozen surfaces.”
