Travellers in the UK can expect more “tricky” conditions as heavy snowfall that caused disruption in parts of northern England and Scotland gives way to ice and freezing fog.
The Met Office said temperatures could drop as low as -10C overnight on Thursday in areas that have seen “lying snow”.
Various yellow warnings have been put in place across most of the UK for snow and ice which will last throughout Friday and until 9pm on Saturday.
Patches of freezing fog are expected across large areas of the country bringing a widespread frost and temperatures hovering around freezing, the Met added.
Weather and travel warnings remain in place for icy conditions across much of England and Scotland after the widespread snowfall of recent days.
The Met Office has a yellow warning concerning ice in place for all of Scotland and for England, with the exception of the south-west.
It warns that with falls of rain, sleet and snow dying out, there is a risk of icy surfaces and “difficult” travel conditions.
The office has told people to beware of the chance of injuries from slipping while walking on icy surfaces, as well as “some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths”.
