Repeat of the earlier Met O warnings for anyone who missed them...

Yellow Warning of Snow for London & South East England :

Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Greater London, Kent, Medway, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, West Berkshire, Hampshire, Wokingham, Reading, Windsor and Maidenhead, Bracknell Forest, Slough & Surrey

Yellow Warning of Snow for East of England :

Bedford, Cambridgeshire, Central Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Luton, Norfolk, Peterborough, Southend-on-Sea, Suffolk & Thurrock

Valid from: 0600 on Sun 10 Feb 2013

Valid to: 0700 on Mon 11 Feb 2013

Rain is expected to gradually turn to sleet and snow as it spreads eastwards during Sunday. Settling snow will be mostly limited to the south Pennines at first, but is likely to become rather more widespread by evening. Even then, cover is likely to be variable, with some places seeing very little, others 2-4 cm and with the potential for 10 cm or more over parts of the south Pennines and 5 to 10 cm for Kent, and more locally over the Midlands and Essex.

Overnight into Monday morning, there is a risk of an area of snow moving westwards across parts of the south Midlands, east and southeast Wales and southern England, with a few cm in places, particularly over higher ground. This warning is updated to cater for this risk.

The public should be aware of the risk of disruption, particularly to travel.
