A Yellow Weather Warning for ice and snow has been issued for Sussex.
The Met Office warning will be in place from 6pm this evening (Tuesday) until 10am tomorrow morning, with snow and ice causing travel disruption in places.
Some roads and railways are likely to be affected, leading to longer journey times by car, as well as bus and train services
Snow and sleet falling on frozen surfaces may lead to icy conditions, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
The combination of wind and snow may cause some drifting and very poor visibilities, especially over hills and moors
Further details
Intermittent, mostly light, snow across southwest England on Tuesday afternoon may become a little heavier and more widespread into Tuesday night, before clearing southwards on Wednesday.
Near some coasts sleet is more likely, especially at first, but this brings an ice risk.
Strong winds may cause drifting and poor visibility, especially where the snow is likely to be heavier.
Here, 5 to 10cm snowfall may accumulate above 200 metres.
Towards the north and east of the warning area small amounts of snow, mostly no more than 1cm, seem likely.
