Gritters on standby as yellow warnings issued for northern Scotland and Northern Ireland
A cold snap will hit the UK as the clocks go back this weekend, marking an emphatic end to British summer time (BST) and to an unusually warm autumn.
Gritters were on standby across the country on Friday and forecasters advised people to unpack their winter clothes, as the Met Office issued yellow warnings for snow and ice in northern Scotland and ice in Northern Ireland, beginning from the evening and continuing overnight.
❄️ | Our gritters are ready for their first run of the season, with road temperatures set to dip close to freezing overnight this weekend. Sunday night is forecast to be particularly cold, with ice and hoar frost expected.
