There is a small chance of travel delays on roads with chances of flights and trains being cancelled, power cuts and problems with mobile phone coverage.

The Met Office said: "A band of rain pushing east across parts of England is likely to turn to snow during Tuesday evening, with snow continuing into Wednesday.

"Accumulations of 1-3cm are likely quite widely, with accumulations of 5 cm in places. There is a small chance that some areas could see up to 10 cm, more especially over the higher ground."

Earlier this week there was a brief flurry of snow in parts of the county.
