Freezing fog rush hour warning issued by Met Office across Greater Manchester

There's a yellow weather warning for fog across Greater Manchester this morning, with rush hour drivers being urged to take extra care on the roads.

With temperatures having also fallen below freezing, forecasters are also warning of ice. There could be some travel disruption as a result - with tricky driving conditions possible.
