A Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice is in force from 9pm tonight until 10am tomorrow (Monday).

It states: "Icy patches and wintry showers expected Sunday night and first thing Monday giving a few travel problems."

People should expect some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces and probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, it adds.
