Last night Suffolk experienced the coldest night since Beast from the East.

The coldest temperature was seen in Stanton Downham where the mercury plummeted to -8C.

Fred Best, forecaster for Weatherquest said: “Today will be dry but cold and a band of rain, sleet and snow will hit the region this evening and into the night.

“Some parts could see 1cm of settled snow and other may not see any at all.”

We saw the first snow of the year on Tuesday night with a fine layer left behind on Wednesday morning.

Tonight we should see more fall, and with temperatures expected to be below freezing again tomorrow it could create treacherous conditions on the roads.
