Sadddleworth saw a light fall of snow on Sunday which will continue into today.

All major roads in the area have been gritted and remain open, the Met Office has said there will be another band of rain, sleet and snow today, spreading from the northwest to give further accumulations of snow to eastern parts of the UK.

The East Midlands, northern England and eastern Scotland look to be particularly affected with 10 to 15 cm possible on hills. Further south and west a mixture of rain and sleet is most likely but with temperatures dropping below freezing overnight, there will be a continued risk of icy stretches developing.

Tuesday should be much drier for the bulk of the country but further snow showers are expected to affect eastern coasts giving a further few centimetres in places.
