This weekend, yellow weather warnings of ice and snow were issued in parts of the UK.
Forecasters say Yorkshire and Humber, northwestern England and northeastern England will be affected between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Office said: “The outbreak of rain, sleet and snow is likely to develop early Saturday and then relax from the west in the afternoon.
“Snowfall is more likely to accumulate 2 to 5 centimeters in the eastern part of Pennines, especially over 150 meters, on the North York Moors and Northumberland.
“There is also a risk of ice in the May Mountains, especially the risk of freezing rain above 200 meters.”

In the UK, frozen rain – often referred to as the ice storm of North America – is because the conditions required are very specific.
It is rainfall that falls from the sky and has become “super cold” after passing through various temperatures in the atmosphere.
It starts with the height of sleet or hail, but as it travels down, it melts through a layer of warm air and then refrigerates again through the cold air near the surface.
The Metropolitan Office warned that cold weather could cause traffic delays and make driving “dangerous”.
It urges people to drive forward and check any roads before departure. Pedestrians are urged to try to use sidewalks on main roads to avoid slipping.

In the next few days, snowy and rainy days can be seen in the UK as high pressures in the north and east of the country continue to introduce clouds and cold air.
It produces amazing effects as rainwater spreads over the surface instantly before freezing and wrapping the surface in a layer of transparent ice.
According to the Metropolitan Office, the weight of ice can be heavy at times, lowering trees and power lines, and the ice glaze on the ground effectively turns roads and roads into ice rinks.
This can also be very dangerous for the aircraft and it is possible to form icicles on the aircraft’s wings.
The ice is very clear and is often called black ice because it is difficult to see, which is dangerous for pedestrians and drivers.
