DRIVERS are being warned to take care on the roads again tonight and tomorrow because of icy conditions.

The Met Office has issued an overnight weather warning that is in force until 11am tomorrow morning, stating that icy stretched are likely to form on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

There could also be fresh snowfall on higher ground and the freezing temperatures are expected to continue into the weekend.

The warning states: “Ice is expected to form on some surfaces from late Tuesday afternoon and last overnight into Wednesday morning.

“The chance of this is highest across parts of Scotland and northern England where rain may fall onto frozen surfaces.

“A few centimetres of fresh snow are also likely on high ground, mainly across Scotland and northern England.

“There will probably be icy stretches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths with some injuries possible from slips and falls. There is also a very small chance of travel disruption across parts of Scotland and northern England.”
