We have had a couple of days of glorious sunshine, but now snow is on the way.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow on Tuesday.

It issues warnings like this when there is the potential for delays on the roads, with the possibility of stranded vehicles and passengers.

In the worst cases some rural communities could become cut off.

The Met Office says: "Snow showers are expected through Tuesday, with the potential for a more organised band of snow to push south-west across many parts of England and Wales through the day.

"There is the potential for 5-10cm of snow in places where showers become more frequent, or in association with the more persistent band of snow."
