The UK is in the middle of a cold weather snap, with many in southern England and South Wales waking up to snow this morning.
Snow is likely to be more widespread as it moves across northern England, Northern Ireland and much of Scotland on Sunday, warns the Met Office.
It's important to be careful when you're out and about, as surfaces are likely to be slippery due to the chilling temperatures.
Whether you want to admit it or not, we're all susceptible to embarrassing and dramatic falls when the frost and ice hit – so it pays off to be prepared.
Thankfully, a woman has shared her "best hack" for avoiding sliding across icy roads and pavements – and you don't need to fork out on any expensive equipment.
Taking to the popular video-sharing platform TikTok, Scottish mum-of-two Mel shared the game-changing hack in a video, which has gone viral and surpassed 1.8 million views since posting.
Searching through the bottom of her drawers, the parent pulled out two old socks that are likely to go unused and put them to work with her genius hack.
Putting the socks over her shoes to increase her grip, the woman was chuffed with her efforts as she was prepared to take the icy floors without the fear of slipping.
Captioning the post of her viral video, Mel wrote: "BEST (most needed) HACK atm in my opinion… socks worn over your shoes - to avoid slipping on the ice. Thank me later."
She explained: "So, this is happening right now - absolute game-changer!"
"When it's icy, this ice is so so slippery, so wear socks and shoes.
"Game-changer!" she added.
Flocking to the comments, users were overjoyed by the mum's handy hack and were keen to give it a try - while others were concerned about "humiliation".
One eager TikToker user wrote: "Off to Primark for men's trainer socks it is then because it's a skating rink out there."
A second claimed: "I've always done this. Always get the looks but I ain't the one sliding haha."
"I'm so on this... I live in Scotland and am petrified of slipping I've had few falls too.. So thanks," a third added.
A fourth penned: "Going to do this! Thank you! I recently slipped and broke my elbow so I have the absolute fear of falling again. This will help so much."
Meanwhile, a different user said: "My kids would be horrified if I did the school run like this let's go."
