A weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for most of the country today – and even Cornwall could potentially see a dusting.
The Met Office has put a yellow warning in place from 4pm today (Friday), which runs until 10.30am on Saturday.
This covers the whole of Cornwall, which could see sleet and potentially even snow on higher ground.
The Met Office has said: "Snow and ice may cause travel disruption tonight and early Saturday.
"Expect probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, increasing the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
"Some roads and railways [are] likely to be affected by snowfall, with longer journey times by car as well as bus and train services."

Cornwall is likely to escape the worst of it, with the forecast saying that showers will be largely rain and sleet in southern England and Wales, but will be a mixture of sleet and snow elsewhere.
However, temperatures are expected to drop to freezing at midnight tonight in more central areas such as Bodmin and even below freezing tomorrow evening, with people warned it will feel like -3°C.
It will be slightly warmer in coastal areas, with areas such as Falmouth not expected to drop below 3°C, although it will feel like 0°C at times.
The Met Office said: "Showers will continue at times across many areas, these largely of rain and sleet at low levels across southern England and southern Wales and near coasts but will be of sleet and snow elsewhere.
"These will bring a cover of snow in places; 1-3 cm could accumulate at low levels, mostly across Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England but as much as 5-10 cm of additional snow may accumulate at higher levels of these areas. Clear skies between showers will also bring the threat of ice."
Some parts of Cornwall were surprised by snow over New Year's Eve into New Year's Day, which came after the weather warning had ended, leaving the A30 at Bodmin closed due to lorries unable to travel up the hill and Four Lanes and Stithians among the areas where it began to build up as temperatures fell.

The weather warning moves away from south and west Cornwall on Sunday but remains in place for the north and east of the Duchy, from Bodmin up, from 3am until 6pm.
The Met Office warns: "A band of rain will turn readily to snow as it spreads eastwards leading to possible transport disruption.
"Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

"An area of rain will cross the west and southwest of the country on Sunday morning and turn readily to snow as it spreads eastwards, and also lead to some icy surfaces.
"Mainly 1-3 cm of snow accumulation for most parts, but possibly 5-10 cm over 100 m with a small possibility of 10-15 cm over high ground for example on Dartmoor, the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.
"These snow amounts will cause some disruption to transport, especially on routes that cross even modest high ground."
