A warning has been issued by the Met Office ahead of the arrival of snow and sleet showers in Norfolk. 

The yellow alert for icy conditions covers most of the county and is in place from 3pm today (December 14) until noon tomorrow.

Sleet and snow showers will reach the region this evening and into the night, particularly affecting coastal areas.

The Met Office has said the showers will fall on surfaces that are below freezing, leading to slippery conditions where surfaces remain untreated, due to either ice or snowfall.

Disruption to travel is also likely and drivers have been urged to take caution on the roads.

Since last Wednesday, a number of weather warnings have been issued amid freezing temperatures that reached as low as -8C in parts of the county.

The cold snap is likely to continue into next week before temperatures will begin rising again, according to Weatherquest forecasters. 

Subzero temperatures caused widespread disruption at the start of the week, with school closures, crashes and train cancellations.
