Overnight snow along with below freezing temperatures have already meant many woke up to icy conditions this morning. Some areas will see drops as low as -3C with a significant risk of ice overnight and varied levels of rain. It's not all doom and gloom as there should be plenty of sunshine, although it is expected to feel cold due to the brisk wind.

"Where surface water and snow freeze overnight there is a risk of ice as temperatures widely dip below freezing. "There will however be good spells of sunshine for those away from northern coasts, though it’ll still feel cold in the northerly breeze.”.
