Brrr-ace yourselves.

It’s going to be another very cold start to the day with temperatures of minus 5C expected this morning.

Yesterday saw major problems on the roads and the weather-related disruption in the county could be far from over as the Met Office issued two further warnings for the region.

Firstly, a snow and ice warning was issued between 6 pm on Tuesday night and midday today. This caution was predicted to impact areas in west Dorset with a couple of centimetres of snow predicated at low levels, whereas five to ten centimetres of snow were warned for higher levels of ground. 

A separate ice warning was also issued from 6pm on Tuesday to 10am today as treacherous roads were once again anticipated.

The Met Office said: "A few snow showers will affect these areas overnight and into Wednesday morning.

"Accumulations of a couple of centimetres are likely at low levels, with some of the higher ground seeing as much as 5-10cm.

"In addition, icy stretches are likely to form following showers.”

Dorset-based weather enthusiast UK Extreme Weather said the best chance of any activity in Dorset would be between 4am and 9am today.

They said: “It’s not out of the question that you’ll wake to a dusting, more especially for north and western parts of the county.”

Dorset has a “low” risk and may struggle to see anything wintry but UK Extreme Weather said it is not out of the question.
