BRRRRR West Berkshire cold snap to continue





The Met Office has placed the south east, including West Berkshire, on a yellow warning for snow and ice.
The warning comes into force at 6pm tonight (Tuesday) until 11am on Wednesday. Another warning will be in affect from five-past midnight on Thursday, lasting until 11.55pm on Thursday.
Temperatures are predicted to drop to minus one in Newbury tonight, although it is expected to feel more like minus five in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The chance of snow is looking slight, with a less than five per cent chance of precipitation forecast.
People are being warned of possible disruption to travel on untreated roads, with melting snow freezing again on some roads.
The cold hasn't stopped people from enjoying the snow and have sent in their icy snaps of the frozen district.

Thoroughly enjoying the snow is Niki Bown's horse Cam; while Emma Guite sent in a picture of birds at the Park Way bridge scattering from the snow.
