The Met Office forecast predicted "heavy rain and snow leading to tricky travel due to surface water and possible slushy accumulations" in these areas.

A spokesman for the weather service warned: "Spray and surface water on roads may make journey times longer.

"Bus and train services may be affected with journey times taking longer.

"Snow may be briefly heavy in places, reducing visibility and leading to slippery surfaces."

Update:

At about 9am, the snow and rain warning was moved by the Met Office to cover and area further north, over Cambridge and Peterborough.

This warning is to remain in place until at least 11am.
