A yellow weather warning for snow and ice has been extended by the Met Office for most of southern England, and Cornwall could be affected.
The whole county is currently included in the alert area, which will not now last from midnight on Wednesday, March 8 to 9 am on Thursday, March 9.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Dan Suri said: “Snow, ice and low temperatures are the main themes of this week’s forecast, as the UK comes under the influence of an arctic maritime airmass as cold air moves in from the north.
“Ice will provide an additional hazard for many with overnight low temperatures well below 0°C for many. Further south wintry hazards will develop with parts of England and Wales affected by icy patches and snow in places tonight and likely further snow in parts of the south early Wednesday.”
❄️ A battle between cold Arctic air and milder Atlantic air will result in disruptive #snow in some areas this week
