COMMUTERS have been warned to take care as they make their way for the evening.
The second yellow warning for snow and ice of the day is currently in place, with the Met Office urging motorists and pedestrians alike to approach with caution as they travel home.
Forecasters say roads and railways are likely to be affected with "longer journey times by road, bus and train services".
While some low priority roads, pavements and cycle paths are likely to have untreated ice patches.
