A weather expert from the Met Office said: "An area of sleet and snow is likely to move eastwards overnight, followed by a few wintry showers.

"Surfaces then freezing, leading to icy stretches. There is a small chance that up to 5 cm of snow could fall down to sea level.

"Snow over high ground is much more likely, with five to 10 centimetres above 250 metres and as much as 15cm above 350m."
