It continues that people should expect delays on the roads with potential for some vehicles and passengers to become stranded.
It also warns there could be delays and cancellations of flights and rail services while there is a a 'good chance' some rural communities could be cut off.
The alert adds that power cuts are 'likely' and other services, for instance mobile phone coverage, may also be affected.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said: “The boundary between milder and colder air will slowly move north through Wednesday and overnight, moving the chances of snow further north with it. Snow will have settled quite widely in central parts of the UK as we move into Thursday morning leaving tricky conditions for the morning travel period. It will be another very cold night, especially under clear skies in Scotland where temperatures could get down to -15°C again tonight.
“An Amber warning for snow has been issued for the high ground running north in the centre of northern England as snow redevelops through the course of Thursday and persist until early Friday. Here we could see up to 40cm of snow
