THE Met Office has revealed where snow is set to strike in the UK as 12-hour ice warnings remain in place - after three named storms struck in six days. Temperatures plummeted to -3C last night as a fresh cold snap takes hold with two 12-hour ice warnings in place in Scotland and Northern Ireland until 10am.

More snow is also expected by the end of today and into tomorrow after wintry showers struck in parts of the country last night. Parts of Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Staffordshire are among spots forecast to see snow by the early hours of Friday.

The Met Office said in a post on X today: "A cold start on Thursday, with frost and patchy fog in places, and some icy stretches in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. "A bright morning to come though, with plenty of sunshine around, and any showers remaining confined to northern coasts.".

A yellow ice warning, put in place for 12 hours from 10pm on Wednesday states: "Icy patches may lead to some travel disruption on Thursday morning.". It adds: "Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.". It comes after Britain was battered by Storm Eowyn - which brought winds over 100mph and torrential downpours.
More than 130,000 people were left without power and two people died, as a result. This was followed by Storm Herminia, arriving earlier this week from Spain before the south coast was hit by 60mph gusts from Storm Ivo, careening in from Portugal. Met Office meteorologist Jeff Knight said: "An outlook for increased storminess carries a risk of storm clustering, meaning multiple storms could affect the UK in quick succession, like we have already seen for storms Eowyn and Herminia.
