A Met Office spokesman added: "Wintry showers are expected to continue through Wednesday night into Thursday morning, especially over Northern Ireland and western Scotland, before developing more widely across parts of northern England, the north Midlands and north Wales later in the night.
"This will leave surfaces wet, leading to icy stretches developing on untreated surfaces.
"Showers will fall as a mixture of hail, sleet and snow.
"Some places are likely to see 1-3 cm of snow, mainly above 100 m, with 5-10 cm possible above 400 m."
The warning is in place for a number of areas in the north west including Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
