Across northern England and southern Scotland, snow may turn to freezing rain above 200-300 metres leading to widespread ice developing on Saturday night. 2-5 cm of snow is likely at lower levels, whilst higher ground could see 10-20 cm."
It adds that there is the possibility for travel delays on roads, stranding some vehicles and passengers, as well as delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.
