A fresh blast of wintry weather will hit Britain, bringing more snow and icy conditions, forecasters have said.
Eastern and south-east England will be worst affected over the next few days with Kent likely to see the heaviest falls.
There will also be a risk of widespread ice as temperatures drop below zero.
The Met Office warned there could be heavy snow in London and south-east England on Thursday and Friday, with as much as 15cm on high ground.
Forecasters said the chilly weather would last into the weekend, but would not be a return to the big freeze that caused chaos last month.
John Hutchinson, forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said snow showers in the East would be broken up by sunny spells before turning heavier towards the end of the week.
He said: "Most of the sleet and snow will be in eastern areas, and Kent will see the worst of it. Throughout Tuesday there will be sunny spells with the wintry showers in eastern parts and temperatures will rise to between 3C and 5C. That bit more sunshine will mean the snow will struggle to settle during the day, though it could settle over the hills in north-east England.

"The sunny spells will turn increasingly to snow showers which will continue overnight and into Thursday and Friday.
"There could be significant accumulations in eastern and south-east England with Kent getting the worst of it."
A spokeswoman for Kent Police said drivers are being warned to take extra care while the wintry conditions persist and a Highways Agency spokesman said there are warnings for drivers to take care throughout southern and eastern England.
