Snow and ice shut schools as Storm Bert looms
Rain turned to steady snowfall over Dartmoor and Exmoor early on Thursday morning but as this turned heavier during the morning, heavy snow fell even at lower elevations.
Snow also fell for some around the New Forest and South Downs on Thursday morning.
While this area of snow, sleet and rain clears from southern England, heavy snow will continue in northern Scotland through into Friday morning.
Wintry showers will also move into north Wales and parts of north-west England later on Thursday and through the night.
Temperatures fell to -10C in Tyndrum, Scotland, on Wednesday night, but with a low of -8.7C in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, it was England’s coldest night of the autumn so far.
It was also the coldest night of autumn in Northern Ireland with -3.9C at Katesbridge.
Temperatures will fall sharply again on Thursday night with a widespread frost and ice on untreated surfaces.
