The New Year is off to an icy and potentially dangerous start after the showers over the weekend cause frozen conditions across the UK.

The Met Office has put out a yellow weather warning forr Scotland, Northern Ireland, the North and the East Midlands, due to the ice and frost set to sweep the country at the start of the first week of 2017.

Icy patches are likely to form on roads and pavements as temperatures dip below freezing on Monday.

There could even be snowfall in the affected areas of the country, with the Met Office predicting around 2-5cm of snow.
