Eumetsat
The snow band shall drop 2-4cm widely over south and southeast England tonight, locally 10cm for parts of East Anglia and higher elevations around Greater London.
The heavy snow prompted an amber warning for inland parts of the Southwest and south Wales.
This was the scenes in Cornwall earlier today.
