  1. That's all from us

    Sarah Turnnidge
    BBC News, West of England

    With the majority of the snow cleared and the temperature rising this afternoon across our region, we are bringing our coverage of the weather overnight and this morning to a close.

    Please be aware that while the coldest weather may now have passed we have seen warnings from a number of officials urging people to take care while driving, due to a large amount of standing water still present on the roads.

    Stay safe everyone!

  2. Spotted...

    We love seeing pictures of your pets enjoying the snow and this one is no exception.

  7. 'Grind to a halt'

    The work of volunteer 4x4 responders like Mr Greenhalgh may be little known, but the service they provide in tricky conditions like those we saw last night can make a huge difference to people working on the front lines of healthcare.

    "If we can't get staff to work for their shift, then the people who are already there can't get home.

    "The whole thing would grind to a halt and you'd end up with people double-shifting in the hospital which is not the ideal situation for patient care," he said.

    As we reported earlier this morning, nearly 30 homes in the Southmead area of Bristol were left without power overnight, throughout freezing temperatures.

    The National Grid has now removed this outage from their list of incidents and power appears to have been restored.

    Stagecoach West has announced a number of its services running to and from Gloucester have been cancelled due to the weather conditions.

  10. Stunning scenes from the Cotswolds

  11. 4x4 responders on call overnight

    In response to last night's conditions, 4x4 responders were on call in Gloucestershire helping key workers get to and from their shifts.

    Yesterday we spoke to Jerry Greenhalgh, 75, who has volunteered with the Gloucestershire and Worcestershire 4x4 Response team for 16 years.

    "We will be expecting calls from our service users - primarily NHS trusts, local care homes, a few doctors surgeries, where we would transport staff from their home to their place of work, and similarly from their place of work back home when there's a shift changeover," he said.

    Having spent a long career as an engineer for an electricity company, heading out on call is now second nature to Mr Greenhalgh.

    "Going out in all weathers, at all times of the day and night, is something that I was doing for 40 years," he said.

  12. Yellow weather warning comes into force

    BBC News, West of England

    A map showing a large yellow weather warning for rain covering almost all of southern England. All of the South West is covered, and along the south coast up to the far east of Kent. The warning stretches as far north as South Gloucestershire, and then eastwards to the southern reach of the M25.Met Office

    A new weather warning - this time for rain - has been introduced this morning, covering a large part of southern England including the West.

    The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert, warning: "Further heavy rainfall may lead to some transport disruption in places."

    The agency says bus and train journeys are likely to be affected, with spray and flooding on roads also potentially extending journey times.

    The warning covers from shortly before 09:00 GMT today to 09:00 on Monday, during which a further 15-20mm of rain could fall quite widely. The Met Office says up to 30mm could fall in a few locations - most likely in the South West.

  13. Winter morning at Cleeve Hill

    What stunning scenes from Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, this morning!

    Thank you to John Hier, from Cheltenham, for submitting these images of Gloucestershire, as well as a wintery Belas Knap.

  16. Spike in temperature across West Country

    Alex Osborne
    BBC Weather

    Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol this morning BBC Weather's Alex Osborne said milder air had pushed in overnight, with a temporary spike in temperatures expected across our region.

    "At the moment in Bristol temperatures are hovering just above freezing, whereas a little bit further south in Somerset, in Yeovil, it's 13 degrees out there at the moment," she said.

    "The forecast essentially is that milder air is going to continue to spread northwards to all parts, so by this afternoon Bristol also will be up into double figures - but that is for one day only."

    Last night's snow has now turned to rain in many places, with a few flood alerts and flood warnings issued.

    "If you are driving or travelling this morning, do take a little bit of extra care for some spray and surface water," Alex said.

    While we are all likely to see temperatures rise significantly this afternoon, it isn't to last. Overnight temperatures will return to low single figures, with cooler air dominating throughout the week ahead. Some wintry showers may be on the cards, but not the snowfall we saw last night.

  20. Power restored in Worle

    Sarah Turnnidge
    BBC News, West of England

    We reported earlier this morning 130 homes in Worle, North Somerset, were without power after a fault in the low-voltage network.

    Power was gradually restored to affected home and this incident has now been removed from the National Grid's map of live incidents altogether.

    The only other reported outage within our region is in the Southmead area of Bristol, where 28 homes spent the night without power. The supply, National Grid say, is expected to be restored by 11:00 GMT this morning.
