A WEATHER warning for ice across Cheshire West and Chester has been issued by the Met Office.
The yellow warning is in place until 11am on Friday.
Temperatures are forecast to fall as low as -3°C in the early hours of both tomorrow and the following day.
It's not expected to get any warmer than 3°C tomorrow, while Friday will be barely above freezing throughout the day.
Cheshire West and Chester Council said its gritters would carry out its operations from 4am tomorrow.
The Met Office states: "Showers, a mixture of rain sleet and snow, are expected to fall onto frozen surfaces leading to icy stretches forming.
"In addition, a more persistent spell of rain and hill snow is likely to spread south across northern England and north Wales during Thursday evening and night.
"Whilst ice is expected to be the main hazard, snow is likely in place too. Snow is most likely to fall over The Pennines, North York Moors and the high ground of Wales, with 1-3cm possible here.
"Elsewhere, whilst some snowfall is possible, accumulations are likely to be slight and temporary."
