*** weather: Snow, ice and freezing rain forecast as Met Office issues warning

With an easterly wind, it has been pretty cold in the *** this week, not helped by the persistent layer of cloud for most of us.

From Brighton, London, Swindon, and Wrexham across to Leeds there have been zero hours of sunshine recorded in the last seven days, compared to 40 hours in north-west Scotland.

On Saturday we’ll be getting a band of rain moving in from the south-west which will clash with colder air in the east and bring some wintry precipitation.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice from 06:00 to 14:00 GMT on Saturday.

Parts of northern England, particularly the north-east, are likely to see some snow. It will fall largely to the east Pennines with 2-5cm for example expected on the North York Moors and Northumberland, and some freezing rain may be mixed in.

The warning says ice over the Pennines, particularly above 200m (656ft) is where the freezing rain is possible.

We’re not expecting widespread ice or disruption from the freezing rain but it’s worth being aware of the hazards it can bring.
