The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice for North Wales as snow and freezing rain are set to fall. They warned of difficult travel conditions as the weather turns colder this evening.
The warning has been issued from 6pm on Thursday evening, January 2, until 10am on Friday morning, January 3. It comes as the forecaster has issued a three-day weather warning for snow in Wales.
The Met Office said: “Wintry showers are expected to affect parts of north and west Wales at times on Thursday night. Whilst any snow is likely to be confined upwards of 200 metres and produce accumulations of no more than 1-2 cm in a few places, rain and sleet at low levels will leave surfaces wet and allow ice to form where untreated.”
It issued advice about what to do: “Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.

“If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.”
