• Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.
If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area
A band of rain, sleet and snow will move east across the area during Sunday morning, falling onto sub-zero surfaces for a time and leading to ice forming on untreated surfaces. Accumulations of snow mainly small, although a few cm possible over the higher routes in the Pennines and Yorkshire Wolds.
Temperatures rising from the west later on Sunday morning with any snow turning to rain, and ice starting to melt.
