The Met Office has said two regions in England could see snow today as told Brits are expecting more "sleet and snow showers" as temperatures continue to plummet.
Forecasters revealed there is a risk of wintry showers in the South West this morning and said the warning potentially extends to the North East.

However, they also said there will be "largely sunny skies and small amounts of cloud", despite the snow announcement.

The Met Office warns of "a mix of sleet and snow showers" from the east, with temperatures near zero and icy patches likely on untreated surfaces.
The Met Office has warned of travel disruption following its latest warning about ice. They say on their website: "An isolated snow flurry is possible this evening but thereafter a dry night with clear periods. Rather breezy and feeling very cold with a widespread frost developing. Some ice developing in places, especially where any snow flurries occur."
Parts of the UK will experience more snow, according to forecasters (PA)Looking to Tuesday, they predict: "A fine albeit cold day with largely sunny skies and mostly small amounts of cloud. The brisk easterly breeze will make it feel like it's below freezing." For Wednesday to Friday, they expect: "The largely dry and settled weather will continue with plenty of sunshine on Wednesday.
