Well, the forecasters predicted it, and yes although many may have been dubious, we did see snow here in west London.

And although snow is not in the forecast in the coming days, we still need to be wary of the weather.

A severe yellow weather warning for ice has been issued by the Met Office for London and south east England, and remains in place until Saturday at 12pm.

The Met Office states: "Ice is likely to form on untreated services especially where showers of sleet, snow and hail occur."

Consequently, there may be disruption to travel, so motorists are advised to take extra care on the roads.

For Saturday the Met Office forecasts: "A cold day with some brighter spells especially in the west."

And on Sunday and Monday: "A change to milder conditions is expected on Sunday and Monday, but generally cloudy with periods of rain."
