An amber warning for snow and ice, with the risk of freezing rain, covers most of Wales and central England until midday on Sunday .

Freezing rain is rainfall that has become "supercooled" as it falls from the sky.

Ice is very clear, often referred to as black ice, because it is so difficult to see, making it treacherous for pedestrians and drivers.
