Officials tweeted not to approach fallen trees because they may hide fallen power lines.

“Freezing rain is rare in the United Kingdom as storms moving in from the Atlantic Ocean typically are accompanied by a push of milder air, and cold air gets scoured out fairly quickly,” Pydynowski said.

“On Saturday, cold air got locked in the deepest valleys as warmer air flowed overhead. That set the stage for the freezing rain event that created dangerous travel,” Pydynowski said.
