Large parts of the country face an “ice rink Monday” as the Met Office issues yellow snow and ice warnings across the UK.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice in the East Midlands, the West Midlands, the north of England, and much of north and central Wales from 5pm on Sunday to 12pm on Monday.
RAC Breakdown spokesperson Simon Williams said northern parts of the country could be facing an “ice rink Monday as snow refreezes overnight”.
He added: “We’re expecting some very treacherous icy conditions in northern parts, so those who have to drive should exercise great caution. If it’s possible to delay or even abandon journeys that may well be the best option.
“Those who decide to drive should leave extra space behind the vehicle in front, reduce their speeds to give plenty of time to stop. “Before setting out, it’s important to allow more time to de-ice and de-mist vehicles thoroughly.”
Yesterday, frosty weather whipped up chaos with flights grounded and a major incident declared in Cumbria.
East Midlands Airport closed its runway yesterday morning after heavy snowfall blanketed the ground, halting flights.
