New 24-hour ice warning for Bristol as injuries likely - here's what you need to know
A new 24-hour ice warning has been issued for Bristol amid the adverse conditions.
The Met Office’s yellow warning will be in place from midday today (Friday, January 9) to midday tomorrow (Saturday , January 10), covering a large part of the UK.
It says: “Partially thawed snow refreezing, accompanied by freezing fog and a few wintry showers, will bring the risk of ice overnight into Saturday.”
The warning says to expect some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, alongside icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
It adds: “Partially thawed snow during Friday will likely freeze overnight as temperatures fall below freezing, leading to a widespread ice risk.
“In addition, wintry showers will continue to feed into parts of Wales at times, perhaps also into the West Midlands.
“Whilst there is some uncertainty as to the extent of any precipitation, this falling onto frozen surfaces may also add to the risk of ice.
“Freezing fog patches are also likely in places, posing an additional ice hazard.”
