A YELLOW warning of ice has been issued for the region. 

The Met Office issued the warning for Greater Manchester, from 2am until 10am on Tuesday. 

People are being warned to be aware that untreated surfaces, such as pavements and some minor roads, are likely to turn very slippery later on Monday night and on Tuesday morning.

Freezing fog patches are also possible.

Frank Saunders, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We are advising commuters to pay particular attention to the potential for ice and frost to affect journeys tomorrow morning.

"Although most gritted surfaces will stay ice-free, there is a particular for risk that pavements and untreated roads, especially minor ones, could be very slippery.

“A very cold night is in store for many, and as moister air comes in to contact with cold surfaces later, there is the potential for a lot of frost to form, rendering some surfaces hazardous.”
