The North has borne the brunt of heavy snowfall so far this week – but the wintry weather is set to hit the Home Counties today.
The worst conditions are likely to be in Eastern England, where an amber weather warning has been issued between 5am and 2pm.
This covers Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk where up to four inches of snow could fall. Snow is also expected in London, Kent and Sussex, as well as further north across East Anglia and the East Midlands.

Northern areas with lying snow saw temperatures plummet yesterday, reaching -11.8C (10.8F) at Ravensworth, North Yorkshire.
It was the coldest temperature recorded in England since January 31, 2019, when -13.2C (8.2F) was registered at Hunt Hall Farm, County Durham.
The Met Office warns some rural communities – even in the South – ‘could become cut off’ and that there could be further treacherous travelling conditions today.
