Snow showers and freezing fog is forecast to sweep the UK in the coming days.
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice covering almost all of the nation throughout Thursday and Friday.
Warnings for snow and ice likely to cause slippery surfaces and travel disruption until midnight on Wednesday are in place for Scotland, and for Northern Ireland the same warning is in place until 9am on Thursday morning.
From Thursday afternoon until Friday morning, a yellow warning for ice covers the north and the entire east and west coasts of England and Wales, with only a small portion of central southern areas free from warnings.
