A Met Office spokesperson said: "Ice has formed on some surfaces Monday morning as well as some snow falling, with small accumulations above around 100 m.

"Some snow accumulations of 2-5 cm are possible above around 100 m but at lower levels no accumulations are expected. Instead a mixture of rain and sleet is most likely.

"Some injuries are possible from slips and falls on icy surfaces and there will probably be some icy patches on untreated roads and cycle paths.

"Some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer and more difficult journeys.

"This is an update to extend the warning into Monday afternoon, pull this a little southwards and to make this a combined snow and ice warning."

When driving in icy or snowy weather keep well back from the road user in front.

A yellow be alert warning for ice is also in place from 4pm until 11am on Tuesday morning.

The Chief Forecaster said: "Temperatures are likely to fall rapidly below freezing later on Monday across much of the area.

"This will lead to icy stretches, particularly where snow melt has occurred during the day, or where a mix of rain and snow has fallen across the south of the area."
