The warning is accompanied by yellow\u00a0National Severe\u00a0Weather Warnings for various parts of the country,\u00a0with\u00a0a variety of dangerous weather conditions, including snow, sleet, ice, rain & strong winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Northern England is the main locus of the Amber ice warning, with a possibility of freezing rain on Sunday. There will be some disruption to travel as well as power cuts & risk of injuries by slipping or falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
