Bristol has avoided the heavy snow seen in other parts of the country today but weathermen warn we will see some snow.

Forecasters are expecting some wintery flurries later today, with 1-2cms settling in some places.

Temperatures will struggle to get above freezing and more persistent and heavy snow is expected to reach the West this evening and overnight.

Rob Hutchinson, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, said we could see up to 5cms of snow in the Bristol area.

He said: "Tomorrow there might be highs of 3 or 4C and some sunshine, but there will still be showers. I wouldn't be surprised if you see some snow flakes, but it's more likely to be sleet and wet snow."

Later in the week, it looks like it will remain cold with a risk of more snow at times.
