UK weather: Met Office issues grim ice alert as drivers warned of travel chaos Drivers have been warned of dangerous conditions on the roads due to ice today.
Dan Holley, a deputy chief forecaster for the Met Office, said: "At this stage there is a fair amount of uncertainty over exactly which areas will see disruptive snow, with parts of Wales, northern England and the Midlands most likely to see some impacts.
Marco Petagna, a senior Met Office meteorologist, said: "Most roads will be treated, there’s a chance on untreated roads that ice will still be an issue.
Some Northern services, TransPennine Express services, Transport for Wales services, and South Western Railway services are also affected.
A huge ice warning covers most of the UK today, from Powys in Wales in the south to the Shetland Islands in the north, as temperatures fall to below freezing.
