The Met Office says: “Icy patches are expected to form for a time on Friday morning as a band of rain, sleet and snow pushes north-eastwards across parts of England.

“Some roads and railways are likely to be affected leading to longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

“Some delays to air travel are also possible. Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces are possible.”

However, the forecast is that temperatures are set to rise a few degrees as we approach the New Year, although it will still feel chilly in blustery conditions.
