The Met Office has issued fresh weather warnings for snow and ice in southern England with treacherous conditions expected across the country.
Up to 2cm of snow could fall in London this evening, it has been confirmed.
Yellow warnings are now in place covering London, the South East and the East of England - with parts of the Midlands and the North East already covered.
The alert will remain in place until 5pm today, forecasters said.
Forecasters said: "Snow, which has been falling across northern areas so far today, will continue southwards, lasting only an hour or so in any one place.
"Up to 1-2 cm may accumulate on some untreated surfaces and more widely on grass."
Meanwhile, experts from the Met Office have also urged Brits to brace for the coldest night of the season so far tonight, with temperatures plummeting as low as -10C in some places.
Met Office forecasters say they expect to see the mercury falling below zero in many parts of the country, including in cities such as London, where it could be -2C in the late hours of Sunday.
This afternoon the Met Office said the areas affected by the yellow warning are:
East Midlands
- Derby
- Derbyshire
- Leicester
- Leicestershire
- Lincolnshire
- Northamptonshire
- Nottingham
- Nottinghamshire
- Rutland
East of England
- Bedford
London & South East England
- Buckinghamshire
- Milton Keynes
- Oxfordshire
West Midlands
- Staffordshire
- Warwickshire
- West Midlands Conurbation
Yorkshire & Humber
- North Lincolnshire
- South Yorkshire
Ice warnings have also been issued around Britain, meaning people on their way to work on Monday morning should be careful of icy patches on the roads.
The warning will last from 3pm on Sunday to 10am on Monday in parts of the north east of Scotland and most of England.
It comes after the country was battered by Storm Arwen, which killed three people.
Gusts of almost 100mph also saw transport disrupted, power cuts and damage to buildings, while heavy snow saw lorries get stuck and ploughs being used in a number of areas.
Summing up the damage caused by the first named storm of the season, the Met Office said the strong winds and a mixture of rain, sleet and snow led to "power cuts, transport disruption, trees fell, there were large coastal waves and blizzards affected some hills."
Marco Petagna, a Met Office forecaster, told the PA news agency: "We've seen some pretty severe gusts overnight with the highest speeds hitting 98mph at Brizlee Wood in Northumberland.
"Elsewhere, exposed sites in Scotland and Northern Ireland also surpassed 90mph, with 70-80mph seen more widely in the north of the UK, though parts of southern England and Wales also felt the effects of the storm.
"This has been coupled with a few inches of snow which has fallen in some areas.
"In the higher ground areas of Scotland we expected to see up to 15cm falling but the strong winds meant the snow blew around and created a blizzard in some parts."
