The Met office issued a yellow warning for snow and ice from 5am to midday, plus a similar warning for Sunday from 5-11am.

It said that after a cloudy start, with some outbreaks of sleet or snow, it would become drier, with plenty of sunshine into the afternoon. although there remains a chance of a few snow showers.

A north-westerly breeze means it will feel cold, with a maximum temperature of 5°C.

We asked readers to send us their photos:

Any showers will die away this evening and it will quickly turn cold under clear skies, with a widespread frost expected.

Tomorrow cloud and rain will quickly push in from the west through the morning and then persist for much of the day, with a maximum temperature of 8°C.

On Sunday scattered wintry showers are expected, with ice likely to form on untreated pavements, cycle paths and roads. Some roads and railways are likely to be affected.
