More wintry weather ahead in parts of England
The Met Office has issued more warnings as the southeast and northeast of England has once again been hit by severe winter weather.
Met Office forecasters have issued flash warnings of severe weather for Greater London, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, Suffolk and Hertfordshire, as heavy snowfall continues to disrupt travel in these areas. Kent and East Sussex remain the worst affected areas and more snow is expected.
More than 300 schools in Kent and Sussex were closed because of the weather. Travel is also disrupted with roads closed and train and bus services cancelled. It has been reported that the army has been drafted in to help alleviate disruption caused by the severe weather conditions.
The Met Office predicts that the snow will slowly die out in southeast England, although ice is expected as temperatures are predicted to plummet. Though forecasters continue to advise motorists to postpone all but essential journeys in the worst affected areas through tonight and early Thursday morning.
Motorists are also advised to seek advice from local media and the internet on the latest weather forecasts, weather warnings and travel conditions.
