A snow warning has been issued for all parts of North Wales as temperatures continue to fall across the region.
The Met Office has upgraded its previously issued ice warning to include an alert for snow in all parts of North Wales.
The warning comes into force at 5pm on Thursday and remains in place until 11.59pm on Friday.
A spokesman said: “Showers, a mixture of rain sleet and snow, are expected to fall onto frozen surfaces leading to icy stretches forming.
“In addition, a more persistent spell of rain and hill snow is likely to move south across northern England and north Wales during Thursday evening and night.
“This then gradually moving into parts of central and southwest England and southeast Wales on Friday.
“Whilst ice is expected to be the most widespread hazard, snow is likely in places too.”
Weather Warning
Yellow warning of snow From 17:00 GMT on Thu 7 January To 23:59 GMT on Fri 8 January
Icy stretches are likely to form perhaps leading to some disruption to travel with snow falling for some places.
What to expect
