Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Multiple Yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for ice and snow have also been issued for the coming days, covering Northern Ireland, parts of Wales, northern and southwest parts of England and much of Scotland.
50% : Armstrong added: 'Temperatures are well below average for the time of year and could get as low as -11°C in rural parts of Scotland on Thursday night, with daytime temperatures generally in low single figures for many. 'With clear skies, overnight ice could create some particularly tricky travel conditions.' The public has been urged to 'wrap up warmly' ahead of the colder weather - particularly older people, younger people and those with long-term health conditions.
43% : 'On higher ground in Scotland, 15-20 cm could accumulate, and potentially as much as 15-25 cm over the North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds.' The Met Office said ice will be an ongoing hazard in the coming days.
