The Met Office has issued a warning for snow and ice in parts of Norfolk, including Norwich.

It's in place from 7am today (Monday 15th January) until midnight.

Locals are being warned to expect some travel disruption, with longer journey times, and to take caution on icy surfaces.

Liam Eslick is ameteorologist with the Met Office: "Where we do have these warnings, we're likely to see some travel disruption.

"So we would recommend people stick to the main roads and avoid country lanes where possible.

"These are the places that aren't going to see any gritting or any road clearances for the next couple of days.

"So we recommend people take their time, make sure they have time to sort their cars in the mornings, and go steady."

He also explained what's causing the cold weather: "So essentially we're looking at a strong northerly wind which is bringing in Arctic airmass which is cold, which is bringing in these wintry showers."
