The Met Office has issued a weather warning for all UK regions. Heavy snow and widespread icy roads are expected from 0935 Wed 13 Jan to 2359 Wed 13 Jan.
A band of heavy rain will turn to sleet or snow, especially on hills and away from southern coastal districts of Dorset, as it moves northeast. Accumulations of 2 to 5cm are expected in places with 5 to 10cm locally.
Outbreaks of snow, moderate at times, are likely during today, gradually easing from the southwest. This will give further accumulations of 2 to 5 cm in places and perhaps locally up to 8 cm. Snow falling on frozen surfaces is also likely to cause icy stretches on untreated roads and pavements.
The public are advised to take extra care and refer to Traffic for further advice on road conditions.
