The Met Office has issued a warning for heavy snowfall affecting 27 regions in England overnight into Sunday. The forecasters predict significant snow accumulation, especially in northern and central parts of the country, creating treacherous conditions on roads.
The warning was put in place as snow began falling this evening, expected to persist through the night. Areas in the North East, North West, and Yorkshire are particularly at risk, with officials urging residents to prepare for difficult travel conditions.
Local authorities are taking precautions, with councils ready to deploy gritters and snow ploughs to keep roads clear. They advise commuters to stay updated on travel conditions and consider postponing non-essential journeys if possible.
