A yellow weather warning for ice has been issued across the East of England by the Met Office.

The risk of ice overnight into Saturday is expected accompanied by freezing fog and a few wintry showers, following heavy rainfall and snow flurries.

People are advised to watch out for Icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths and to take extra time and care when travelling.

The advice is also to take precaution as some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces may occur.

A spokesperson said: ”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.”
