Strong winds could also lead to blizzard like conditions as times.
What to expect
- There is a chance of travel delays on roads, possibly with stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Snow, heavy in places, is likely to develop on the northern side of Storm Eunice as it moves across the UK on Friday.
"Not all areas within the warning area are expected to see snow.
"However, some places may see around 5 cm of snow at low levels away from coasts.
"Accumulations are expected to be significantly higher over hills, with 10 cm, possibly 20 cm, above around 300 to 400 metres.
"Strong winds occurring at the same time may lead to very poor visibility, blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow."
