A MET Office yellow warning for ice has been issued for parts of North Wales.

This warning is in place from 4pm today (January 3) until 12pm tomorrow.

The Met Office says icy stretches may cause some travel disruption.

Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Anglesey, Gwynedd and Wrexham are among the regions likely to be affected.

The Met Office’s warning added: “Showers of sleet and snow (snow mainly over higher ground), will affect parts of Wales and southwest England during Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday morning.

“Where showers occur, icy stretches will develop on untreated surfaces.

“Whilst many areas will see little accumulating snow, there is potential for several centimetres over Eryri, higher ground of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, and perhaps parts of Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.

“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.”

What to expect:

Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
