Brits have been urged to brace for plummeting temperatures from 6pm and prepare for potential power outages amid travel chaos.

But, there are 12 cities, primarily in the east and south of England set to avoid the worst of the frosty chill.

Those in Colchester, Canterbury, Southampton, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Truro and Exeter are predicted to stay clear of the warnings.

Meanwhile, Brighton, Hove, Chichester, Norwich, Southend and Ipswich are also forecast to escape the brunt of icy conditions.

However, much of the UK will remain under Met Office weather warnings.

An amber alert for snow and ice covers most of Wales and the north of England from 6pm on Saturday until 12pm on Sunday.

Those affected have been warned there will be “a good chance” of power cuts and loss of services, as well as travel disruption on roads, railways and airports.

Regions like the East Midlands, West Midlands, and Yorkshire are among those in the firing line, alongside parts of Wales and London.

A second amber warning for northern England runs from 9pm Saturday to midnight Sunday.

The Met Office has also issued a yellow warning for snow across England and Wales, stretching from Newcastle down to London.

This is in place from 12pm on Saturday until midnight on Sunday.

Heavy snow is predicted to sweep across the country, with 3-7cm expected in many areas and a whopping 15-30cm over the hills of Wales and the Pennines.

Elsewhere, another yellow warning for ice covers the entirety of Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland from 4pm until 10am tomorrow.

Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said: “The snow will be persistent and locally heavy, with freezing rain bringing hazardous travel conditions before milder air starts to thaw things out on Sunday morning.”

Railways are likely to experience delays or cancellations, with National Rail confirming that various routes across the UK are impacted.

Motorists and pedestrians alike are warned to be wary of icy patches on untreated roads, pavements, or cycle paths.

Rail services have already been hit, with Northern and ScotRail confirming delays and cancellations, while buses are replacing trains in Wales between between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog.

National Highways has advised drivers to use dipped headlights, accelerate gently, and avoid slamming on brakes to stay safe on icy roads.

As the mercury plunges to -10C in some parts of the UK, public health officials also issued warnings to the most vulnerable to stay indoors in the mornings and evenings.

The elderly and those with health problems, are particularly at risk.

Herefordshire authorities have urged residents to stock up on food and medicine.

And, London councils activated emergency shelters for rough sleepers as temperatures plunge.

Age UK warned pensioners they should keep their heating on, despite the cost of bills, amid fears the government’s winter fuel allowance cuts will leave many struggling.

It comes as tragedy struck last night in Lincolnshire when a seven-month-old baby lost his life in a crash on an icy stretch of the A1.

The car, a yellow Honda Jazz, skidded off the road, struck a tree, and returned to the carriageway.

The infant was rushed to hospital but sadly couldn’t be saved. A woman travelling in the car suffered serious injuries, while two other passengers escaped with minor wounds.

Police are investigating whether the crash was caused by icy conditions, as authorities continue to warn against unnecessary journeys in the severe weather.
