Storm due to bring snow and rain
A winter storm is set to bring snow and heavy rain to parts of the UK.
It is due to arrive in southern England and Wales on Monday afternoon, spread to the Midlands and continue overnight into Tuesday, forecasters say.
It could bring up to eight inches of snow (20cm) in some areas, and 30 to 40 millimetres of rain in others.
Motorists are being urged to drive with extra caution in Northern Ireland where the Road Service predicts snowfalls of up to two inches (five cm).
Local Communities Secretary Hazel Blears said more supplies of road salt were being imported from abroad.
BBC weather forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker said between two and six inches of snow would fall on Sunday afternoon in Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland.
That same level of snow is due to fall on Sunday night over northern England, the Midlands and East Anglia.
These are once in 20-year occurrences, so obviously we are not going to keep these stocks all the time, it would be a waste of taxpayers' money
Hazel Blears, Local Communities Secretary
But it is the storm expected to arrive on Monday afternoon which may cause serious problems, he added.
Parts of Britain, from the south up to the Midlands, will either experience snowfall and high winds or heavy rain.
Where the rain falls it will be on areas that already have snowed, meaning it will add to the potential for flooding.
Gale force winds will cause drifting where snow is falling and exacerbate already freezing temperatures.
