BERKSHIRE is yet to see any snow after a yellow weather warning was issued for snowfall last night.
The Met Office has now issued another update for snow showers from midnight tonight until 11.59pm on Wednesday, February 10.
Ice is more of a concern as weather experts predict freezing temperatures will bring icy conditions to roads.
Berkshire is expected to get 2 to 5cm of snow with 10-15cm possible in areas where showers merge into more organised and prolonged spells of snow.
