Much of the UK looks set to be blanketed with snow today and tomorrow as the Met Office issued a weather warning for wintry spells.
Snowflakes and freezing conditions are set to spread from the north of the United Kingdom on Sunday – with the icy weather due to spread all the way south.
A yellow alert weather warning was issued for most of Scotland, all of Northern Ireland, and the north of England and Wales on Sunday.
The yellow alert, which spreads across the south of England and Wales, is also in place for Monday and is in place until Monday night.
The Met Office warned on Sunday: “An area of rain, sleet and snow will move south through Sunday night with the potential for icy surfaces and some travel disruption.”
They went on to predict that roads and railways are likely to be effective and recommend people travelling should plan for journeys to take longer.
The weather service added warnings of: “Icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.”
On Monday, the frosty and wintery weather is due to spread across the majority of Wales, while also blanketing London and the most of the south of England – with only Cornwall, the south coast and parts of east England set to escape the ice and snow.
