A new weather warning for ice has been issued in Powys, as the county continues to shiver under freezing temperatures.
While the current snow and ice warning from the Met Office is coming to an end at 11am on Tuesday (January 6), a new warning has now been issued for the first part of Wednesday (January 7).
The warning, for ice, covers a huge part of the UK, including Powys. It runs from midnight until 10am on Wednesday.
The warning says: "Following a band of precipitation which clears southeast overnight, clear skies will develop for many areas on Tuesday night will lead to icy patches on untreated wet surfaces.
WEATHER NEWS:

"This could lead to some minor disruption especially on Wednesday morning."
The warning covers the whole county with the exception of the area around Machynlleth. The western coast of Wales is largely excluded from the warning area.
Elsewhere in Powys, however, the Met Office says the warning comes with a high likelihood, but a relatively low impact.
The Met Office statement adds: "Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.
"If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated."
