manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A presenter on BBC Breakfast has issued a stark warning after the Met Office issued rare amber warnings for snow and ice, with the first bout of weather disruption expected to hit from 6pm tonight (Saturday, January 4).

During the show, presenters Sarah Campbell and Ben Thompson transitioned into a discussion about UK ponds just as the topic of the impending cold snap arose.

Sarah noted the timely appearance of meteorologist Sarah Keith-Lucas via video link, saying: "There's going to be a few frozen ponds this weekend which links us nicely to this morning's weather." Acknowledging the cold weather, Sarah remarked: "It is going to be cold for a lot of us," prompting weather specialist Sarah Keith-Lucas to take over with the update: "It is indeed.

Yes." The Express reports she proceeded to caution viewers: "We have got some cold weather on the way this weekend, relatively calm start to the weekend but things are going to turn quite disruptive in terms of the weather." The public has been alerted to prepare for as much as 14 inches of snow by day's end, with the Met Office issuing two uncommon amber warnings.
