The amber snow warning reads: “An area of widespread, persistent and occasionally heavy snow will affect parts of the southeast and east of England throughout Sunday and into Monday, with the potential for some significant accumulations across eastern parts of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Kent.
“Accumulations of snow will be widely 5 to 10cm with 15 to 20cm in places and a small chance of 25 to 30cm for a few sites.
“Very strong easterly winds with gusts of 40 to 45mph inland and 50 to 55mph along north-east facing coasts will also lead to drifting of lying snow.
“During Monday morning the snow will turn more intermittent before gradually easing.”
Another amber snow warning has also been issued for parts of the East Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber until 2pm on Monday afternoon.
The warning zone includes Sheffield, Lincoln and Nottingham.
The Met Office warns “snow showers” will become frequent across the area over the course of Monday morning.
Snow accumulations of “3 to 8cm and possibly as much as 10 to 15 cm” could occur in some areas under warning, particularly over the Lincolnshire Wolds.
The Met Office adds “strong northeasterly winds” will cause snow drift.
A yellow snow and ice warning has been issued for parts of Northern Ireland later today, following on from a yellow ice warning which is in place until 11am this morning.
The Met Office warnings extend all the way into the middle of the week, with further snow expected over the coming days.
