The warning is in place for Wednesday (6th), Thursday (7th) and Friday (8th).

Ahead of the icy conditions, the Met Office said:

"Icy stretches are likely to form in places leading to slippery conditions and perhaps some disruption to travel."

What to expect?

• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

• Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

The forecast

Showers, a mixture of rain sleet and snow, are expected to fall onto frozen surfaces leading to icy stretches forming.

In addition, a more persistent spell of rain is likely to spread south across northern England and north Wales during Thursday evening and night.
