FRESH warnings for snow and ice, with the potential to cause rail and road closures, power cuts, and injuries, have been issued for Wednesday evening.
The warning has been made by the Met Office, which has also issued a weather warning for ice across the North West from 6pm.
The disruption could hit supermarket delivery drivers, with both Sainsbury’s and Tesco already having to cancel shopping orders as several centimetres of snow settled across parts of the UK.
Across the rest of the country, from 10am on Wednesday until 6am on Thursday, much of southern England and London is covered by a snow and ice warning; while from 6pm a warning for snow kicks in for much of the Midlands and north-east England and eastern Scotland, lasting until 2pm on Thursday.
