It looks like snow may be on the horizon following icy conditions today.
The Met Office has extended its yellow weather warning for sleet and snow to parts of Hertfordshire tomorrow (February 27).
The warning covers the north part of the county, including St Albans and Harpenden. Watford and Borehamwood sit just outside the weather service's warning zone.
Snow currently affecting areas in the Midlands, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland will be moving eastwards in the evening.
People could be waking up to around one centimetre of snow.

But it is expected the sleet and snow should cause some travel disruption, with likely longer journey times by road, bus and train services around Hertfordshire.
The Channel 4 weather presenter Liam Dutton warned yesterday that snow could be reaching southern parts of England and Wales early on Thursday, before the Met Office confirmed so.
Need to keep an eye on possibility for some snow in southern parts of England and Wales early on Thursday.

Still uncertain, but low pressure bumping into cold air could give some snow - especially on hills.
It depends on path of low and intensity of precipitation. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/Pa7DOdhJhE
Any rain, sleet and snow will quickly clear as it heads south eastern by the late morning, and any settled snow will quickly thaw later in the day.
This follows the yellow warning which the Met Office issued yesterday for ice across the country for today and tomorrow.
