On its website the Met Office says: ‘An area of snow will move across Wales and central and southern England today, becoming slow-moving for a time across parts of the Midlands.
‘This will bring 1-3 cm of snow across much of the warning area, though not all sites will see lying snow and northern parts of East Anglia may see little snow.
‘Areas above 100 m are likely to be worst affected and here 5-10 cm of snow is possible, particularly for parts of the Midlands.
