Snow fell across a large part of England yesterday evening and last night. We saw between 1 and 8cm of fresh snow – the highest snowfall being from Lincolnshire through Cambridgeshire to Bedfordshire. The snow turned to rain in some western areas overnight, with ice becoming a hazard on untreated surfaces.
The table below shows the amount of fresh snow recorded the country overnight into Friday 10 February.

The cold weather is set to continue over the weekend with sharp frosts in many areas as temperatures fall to between -6 °C and -10 °C, with ice continuing to be a hazard to travellers in some areas. Saturday should be dry and bright in most areas, but cloudy and mild conditions across Scotland are expected to spread south for Sunday.
