An ice warning is in force for much of the UK as temperatures dropped after a major incident was declared due to flooding.
And shocking pictures have shown large number of cars submerged in Manchester – where rescue teams yesterday had to be called in to evacuate people left stranded in a hotel.
The yellow Met Office warning indicates there could be some difficult travel conditions across Scotland, Northern Ireland, North Wales, stretching down to the Midlands until 10am on Thursday.
A snow and ice warning is also in place covering northern Scotland until 10am, as rain turning to snow is likely to lead to some travel disruption and difficult driving conditions, the Met Office said.
For those who intend to travel despite the current wintry weather, both the Met Office and National Rail issued alerts to remind Britons to plan ahead if on the move on Thursday.
