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 with ice and a further warning of ice remains in place for Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and the rest of Dorset until 10am today.

A yellow warning for snow is also in place for wider Dorset until 12pm today.

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.”

Bournemouth-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.”

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole have a “low” risk and may struggle to see anything wintry but UK Extreme Weather said it is not out of the question.
