After Cornwall saw snow flurries over the weekend, a fresh warning for ice has now been issued.

It came into force at midnight and is in place until 11am on Monday 25th January.

Parts of Cornwall wake up to snow

The Met Office warns of icy conditions on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle path, as well as the risk of injury from slipping on icy surfaces.

Rail travel could also be disrupted.

Drivers are being urged to take care on the roads.

"So if you're heading out first thing this Monday morning, expect there to be some fairly icy conditions, particularly on the untreated roads.

"But we have got plenty of sunshine and we're not expecting any further snow today."

Tom Morgan, Met Office
