Further snow showers, giving 2-5 cm of snow in places, are expected during Monday night and early Tuesday across parts of southeast England and East Anglia.
There is also a risk of more widespread snow at first across parts of Sussex and Kent.
The snow will be accompanied by strong northeasterly winds, making it feel very cold and causing any lying snow to drift.
The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to travel.
Valid on Tuesday from 0005 until 0900.

The BBC has added an "amber" snow warning. Not sure how this differs from "yellow".
Tuesday 12th March
AMBER WARNING of SNOW
Snow is expected to continue through this evening and overnight across parts of West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent. Up to 10cm may accumulate by Tuesday morning.
The public should be aware of the potential for significant disruption.
Valid from 2030 Monday until 0900 Tuesday.
Tuesday 12th March
YELLOW WARNING of SNOW
Further snow showers and, some longer spells of snow, are expected through the rest of the night across parts of southeast England.
Snow will be accompanied by a strong northeasterly wind which will accentuate the very cold feel and cause lying snow to drift.
Accumulations of 2-5 cm of snow could occur in places, with a lower risk of 5-10 cm for southern parts of Sussex and Kent overnight.
The public are advised to be aware of the risk of disruption to travel.
You're welcome to 'Like' the page - it's a growing community of Sussex avalanche spotters - and there will be some truly stunning historical revelations about the disaster in due course.
Comedy Goldsmith, avalanches can be tricky, unpredictable things, sure that north London is far enough?
Or are you keeping the residents of Barnet safe from The White Death by ave patrolling Arkley Hill?
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

If the tree cover on the slope above the Snowdrop has recovered from the hurricane of '87, you should be safe enough.

Actually, Cliffe Hill above the Snowdrop is one of the ten steepest natural hillsides in England ... except that the chalk has been extensively quarried for two centuries, which explains the cliff (artificial, unlike Beachy Head etc). It's the removal of trees and quarrying that partly explain the 1836 avalanche ... but there's more to it, because at least one of the seven avalanches (26-28 December 1836) came down an unquarried slope. It was the most extraordinary series of events.

It depends what you drink. Apparently it's possible to make amber snow.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Amber snow is easy, you just need to be dehydrated enough...
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I saw an excellent example of "the best conditions can be found on the upper slopes" earlier. Driving from the M6 on to the M1, no snow around apart from a pretty modest hill in the distance somewhere on the Northants/Leics border, completely covered.
