Forecasters have warned that disruption could be likely, with power cuts, travel delays and road closures due to heavy snow. Drivers are being urged to take extreme care if choosing to travel.

The separate yellow warning will stay in place until 9PM, meaning that there will be a "fair chance of some travel delays on roads" and "a small chance that power cuts will occur".
