It comes as parts of the UK are set to be hit by snow in the coming days
As temperatures begin to plummet across the UK, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for ice, covering parts of north west England.
It means that in those areas currently covered by the yellow warning, which is in place between midnight and 6pm on Thursday, there will be a risk of injury from slips and falls on icy surfaces as well as icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths where extra care must be taken. There is also the chance that roads and public transport services may be delayed by the icy conditions.
The Met Office said: “Frequent wintry showers will spread into Northern Ireland through the early hours of Thursday then on to Wales and parts of the West Midlands during the morning. These will fall on frozen ground in many areas, leading to the formation of icy stretches on untreated surfaces. It added: "Showers will fall as snow to low levels inland on Wednesday, continuing through Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Accumulations of 2-5 cm are possible at lower levels, with 5-10 cm above 200 metres. Some drifting and blizzard conditions are likely in the strong northerly winds.
