A WARNING for ice and snow remains in place for Somerset but how much of the white stuff are we likely to see in Taunton?
Hardly any at all, according to the Met Office, which will come as no surprise.
While the temperature is unlikely to rise above five degrees Celsius today, there will only be a sleet shower at about 10pm tonight.

No snow has also been forecast for Bridgwater and Burnham-on-Sea.
However, it is likely to be hazardous on the roads in untreated places as the mercury continues to drop to about two degrees Celsius this evening.

— Met Office warnings (@metofficeSWEng) December 7, 2017
The Met Office website states: “During Friday, increasingly frequent snow showers already affecting parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England will extend across many other northern and western parts of the UK. 2-5 cm of snow is likely in places over the warning area. 10-20 cm is possible for some locations, mainly in northern Scotland, Northern Ireland, north Wales and perhaps the northwest Midlands.
“Icy surfaces are also likely to be an additional hazard, especially overnight. The heaviest and most frequent snow showers will progressively become confined to northeast Scotland during Saturday. Possible travel delays on roads
