The Met Office has issued an urgent 18-hour weather warning for snow and ice in the UK tonight.<\/p>\n

The yellow alert – which lasts form 5pm tonight until 11am tomorrow morning, covers seven regions of Britain.<\/p>\n

Residents of Yorkshire and Humber and the north east of England will be affected, as well as the Scottish regions of Grampian, Highlands and Eilean Siar, Dumfries and Galloway, Lothian and Borders, Orkney and Shetland, and Central, Tayside and Fife.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Wintry showers will lead to ice forming on untreated surfaces during Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

“Snow will begin to accumulate, especially away from windward coasts, with 1-3cm possible. Higher routes of northeast Scotland may see up to 5cm of snow accumulate.”<\/p>\n

The forecaster warned that icy patches and snow are possible, and may lead to hazardous conditions on Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Brits can expect some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, whole motorists should take care as there will probably be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.<\/p>\n

Travel chaos is expected, with some bus and train routes to be hit with longer journey times, while cancellations are also possible.<\/p>\n

It comes as the latest weather maps show how the UK is barely visible under a 560-mile blanket of snow and rain next week.<\/p>\n

New maps by WX Charts appear to show that an area spanning from Southampton to Aberdeen is to be hit by snow and rain mostly across central areas next Thursday, December 7.<\/p>\n

The blanket of snow and rain depicted on the map misses the top of Scotland from Inverness upwards and the south east of the UK, including London.<\/p>\n
