Snow hits Norfolk after Met Office issues weather warning

The east and north of the county have seen snow showers this morning with Great Yarmouth, Caister-on-Sea and Cromer all being turned white.

It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice as temperatures plummet to -3C in parts of the region.

"While there is an increasing risk of something potentially disruptive at some point in this period, exactly where will see any impacts is still uncertain at this stage."

By tomorrow, most of the snowfall is expected to be isolated over the English Channel but some light dustings are possible along coastal areas.
