The Met Office has issued a 17 hour weather alert for ice for North Wales. It comes onto effect at 5pm today and lasts until 10am tomorrow (Saturday), as temperatures plummet to around 0C, covering Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham.
People have been warned to take extra care on the roads and beware of icy patches, with potential injuries from slips and falls.
A Met Office forecast said: “A band of rain and sleet, with a little snow on hills, will clear southwards across England and Wales during Friday evening and overnight. As skies clear, temperatures will fall below freezing leading to a risk of ice forming on untreated surfaces.”
Further yellow alerts for snow and ice, have been issued for other parts of the UK, including large parts of England and all of Scotland, due to come into effect later day, lasting overnight into tomorrow morning.

The Met Office has issued this advice for people to stay safe: “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.
“Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.”
