Travel networks may be affected by snow, as weather forecasters warn of heavy snowfall in parts of the country, including East Anglia and south east England.

According to MeteoGroup UK -  the weather division of the Press Association -  although many areas will see just a dusting of flakes, East Anglia and the South East could expect between 10 and 15cms of snow.

While Scotland, the North East and Yorkshire are likely to see several centimetres of snow, there will not be much in south west England and south west Wales.

London could see between two and five centimetres with a strong wind. However, less snow is predicted for north and western parts but temperatures could fall as low as -5C (23F).

Forecaster Paul Mott said it will be cold and wintry for the next week throughout the UK, but a white Christmas is more likely in the north.

He explained: "There could be a return to slightly milder weather before Christmas. If there is any snow at Christmas it is looking more likely in northern areas. It will be milder in the South."
