A statement on the Met Office warning adds: "Further wintry showers overnight Wednesday and early Thursday may lead to fairly widespread icy patches, particularly on untreated surfaces.

"Some accumulations of snow are also possible, particularly across eastern Scotland and hillier areas of northeast England.

"One to two cm accumulations are possible mainly above 100 m, with five cm over parts of Scotland, Northumberland and the North York Moors above 200-300 m."
