THE Met Office says only two inches of snow fell in Lyneham overnight, despite six inches being reported in parts of Swindon.

Forecasters are predicting that snow will fall again today from the early evening until midnight when minus 3C temperatures will make conditions icy tomorrow.

However, by Saturday, it will brighten up with temperatures rising to 2C and the sun continuing to shine until Sunday when rain, snow and sleet is expected.

Next week is also to begin with wintry conditions and freezing temperatures
