The Met Office has stated on its website: “Showers, falling as rain or hail, but as sleet or snow on some higher ground, will occur at times through Wednesday and overnight into Thursday morning.
“The extent of ice will vary across the area with inland areas most prone whilst north facing coasts are less likely to be affected."
