AN NHS worker captured these amazing photos of icicles formed on hedges, fences, trees and sign posts while driving back from his night shift.

Warrington Guardian:

Patrick Green was inspired to stop in Winwick Lane, in a stretch between Winwick and Lowton, to take pictures yesterday, Friday.

Warrington Guardian:

The icicles have since started to melt.

He said: "I am not sure of the exact nature of their formation but am pretty sure its the freezing conditions and splashes from the puddles you can see on some of the photos. 

Warrington Guardian:

"People obviously shouldn't be leaving their houses unnecessarily at the moment, however thought I would share in the hope others could see."
