The first few drops of 2019's snow have fallen in Herefordshire.

While it was mainly confined to sleet in the city, the more rural areas have seen a light dusting.

Dorstone in the Golden Valley has been affected while heavier drops fell in Leominster and Kingsland.

The Black Mountains, as usual, were the first to welcome snow this winter when Hay Bluff turned slightly white yesterday.

With the arrival of the current cold spell, the Met Office has predicted light flurries on high ground in the county over the next few days and has issued yellow warnings for snow in other parts of the country.

The weather is set to take a turn for the worse on Monday night, with forecasters warning of heavy rain, gales and some snow.
