Snowfall and icy conditions are expected to cause disruption this weekend with an amber weather warning issued by the Met Office.
The alert is in place from 6pm on Saturday 4 January through until midday on Sunday 5.
According to the Met Office areas within the amber warning, which includes Wrexham and large parts of England and Wales, could see snow and freezing rain.
Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing with highs of just three degrees.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Snow will become persistent and locally heavy as it pushes south to north across the warning area.
“As well as snow, a period of freezing rain is also likely bringing some hazardous travel conditions, before milder air follows across all areas by Sunday morning.
“Whilst there is some uncertainty in details, 3-7 cm of snow is likely for much of the warning area, with locally 15-30 cm for the higher ground of Wales and the southern Pennines.
“Freezing rain could lead to ice accretion in places, especially parts of Wales, before the milder air leads to a rapid thaw of snow and ice in the south of the warning area through Sunday.”
