Coming up in the programme tonight: Preparing for winter to bite,

:00:00.:00:00.

as rain, snow and high winds are forecast, with concerns over

:00:00.:00:00.

They joked about hiding a body - the brother of an author found dead

:00:07.:00:12.

at her home gives evidence at her partner's murder trial.

:00:13.:00:17.

Milton Keynes at 50 - celebrations get under way

:00:18.:00:20.

And I'm here in Chatteris, as these bronze-age treasures go on display.

:00:21.:00:38.

First tonight, a wave of heavy rain is currently

:00:39.:00:41.

passing across the region, and in several places

:00:42.:00:43.

Continuing cold conditions overnight, with the possibility

:00:44.:00:47.

of ice and more snow, means warnings of potential travel

:00:48.:00:51.

Councils and highways authorities have spent

:00:52.:00:58.

the day trying to prepare for an ever-changing

:00:59.:01:00.

Stuart Ratcliffe has been out with the gritters.

:01:01.:01:04.

This is the scene at highways depots across the region,

:01:05.:01:11.

as teams prepare for the white stuff, forecast for both tonight

:01:12.:01:13.

Each truck does approximately about 50 miles.

:01:14.:01:16.

We have 36 dedicated gritters for the highway

:01:17.:01:18.

and one that goes down our guided busway network.

:01:19.:01:20.

We've also got some quad bikes that do the cycleways

:01:21.:01:23.

Teams have already been out on one gritting run.

:01:24.:01:30.

They will be out on the road began before dawn.

:01:31.:01:32.

There are around 3,000 tonnes of gritting salt here in this depot,

:01:33.:01:35.

and across Cambridgeshire and there is around 8,000 tonnes in store.

:01:36.:01:42.

They say that is enough to continually grit the county's

:01:43.:01:45.

Now, four years ago, when we had a prolonged cold snap,

:01:46.:01:50.

salt supplies ran critically low, but I'm told this time

:01:51.:01:53.

the county is prepared for pretty much anything.

:01:54.:01:58.

We have learnt our lessons from that, which is why we do this

:01:59.:02:01.

salt stock level management system now,

:02:02.:02:02.

so 8,000 tonnes is what we have in Cambridgeshire, and we keep it

:02:03.:02:05.

And it is not only highways teams who have been on stand-by -

:02:06.:02:10.

at Luton and Stansted Airports, they have well-rehearsed snow plans.

:02:11.:02:15.

We have all the equipment on site that we need in the event of snow.

:02:16.:02:19.

Our firefighters helped clear the runway.

:02:20.:02:24.

Our operations team clear the taxiways, and the aprons,

:02:25.:02:26.

and the passenger areas, to keep the operation

:02:27.:02:28.

Back on the roads, and the concern now is ice.

:02:29.:02:35.

If temperatures drop, wet roads will freeze,

:02:36.:02:38.

and with the prospect of another band of snow overnight,

:02:39.:02:40.

drivers on the road tomorrow morning are being warned

:02:41.:02:43.

Well, our reporter Ben Ando is on the M1 in Bedfordshire.

:02:44.:02:51.

as you can see the pain to me I think what we were told would be

:02:52.:03:04.

snow again is turning in and here is turning into not snow. The snow has

:03:05.:03:10.

stopped for an hour and a half and not settled on the carriageways.

:03:11.:03:15.

That is a combination of the roads being gritted and the flow of

:03:16.:03:19.

traffic keeping the area clear. There have been variable speed

:03:20.:03:23.

limits on the M1 to stop the surging and bunching that can lead to

:03:24.:03:28.

collisions, and there have been pinch points around junctions 11 and

:03:29.:03:34.

12, some congestion on the A14, and snow causing problems in the area.

:03:35.:03:39.

While things seem to be fine right now, the question is, what will

:03:40.:03:43.

happen over? Heavy frost is predicted and there may be more snow

:03:44.:03:47.

later on. Drivers who appear to be driving sensibly this evening are

:03:48.:03:51.

being urged to take the same precautions in the morning if

:03:52.:03:53.

conditions are bad. Thank you.

:03:54.:03:55.

Next tonight, the brother of the murdered children's author

:03:56.:03:57.

Helen Bailey has told a court how he heard Helen and her partner

:03:58.:04:00.

Ian Stewart joke about an old well in their garage being a good place

:04:01.:04:04.

He was giving evidence at the trial of Mr Stewart,

:04:05.:04:07.

Helen Bailey's brother John, seen here on the left,

:04:08.:04:14.

told the court his sister was an intelligent,

:04:15.:04:17.

He said that while looking around Helen's Royston home in August 2013,

:04:18.:04:22.

He said both she and the accused, Ian Stewart, were present,

:04:23.:04:28.

and that there was some and instigated by Helen and that it

:04:29.:04:32.

would be a good place to hide a body.

:04:33.:04:37.

Three years later, her own body was discovered there.

:04:38.:04:40.

The prosecution claimed Helen Bailey was sedated with sleeping pills

:04:41.:04:43.

before being killed by partner Ian Stewart for her money.

:04:44.:04:47.

John Bailey said that, after Helen went missing,

:04:48.:04:49.

Ian Stewart told him Helen had left a note, saying she'd gone

:04:50.:04:52.

to her house in Broadstairs and not to contact her.

:04:53.:04:56.

John Bailey said Ian Stewart later told him he thought the note had

:04:57.:05:00.

We heard Helen was not in Broadstairs, and when Ian Stewart

:05:01.:05:06.

went to look he sent text messages to both John Bailey and Helen's

:05:07.:05:10.

friend to say, maybe, just maybe, some of her clothes were missing.

:05:11.:05:15.

John Bailey said that during that time, Ian Stewart

:05:16.:05:17.

The jury also heard that Helen's close friend, Tracey Stratton,

:05:18.:05:23.

said they often exchanged e-mails, most recently about wedding plans.

:05:24.:05:27.

She said Helen and Ian had decided to get married in September 2016.

:05:28.:05:32.

Ian Stewart denies murder, preventing a lawful burial,

:05:33.:05:36.

fraud and perverting the course of justice.

:05:37.:05:39.

The case will continue tomorrow, when the jury will be taken

:05:40.:05:42.

Kate Bradbrook, BBC Look East at St Albans Crown Court.

:05:43.:05:55.

Hospital accident and emergency departments in our region performed

:05:56.:05:59.

worse in November on average than those across the rest of England.

:06:00.:06:03.

The latest NHS figures published today show one in six patients

:06:04.:06:06.

waited longer than the Government target of four hours. Our political

:06:07.:06:13.

reporter has been looking at those figures and has more.

:06:14.:06:14.

We've heard a lot about winter pressures on Accident Emergency

:06:15.:06:17.

in the last few years, and heading into this winter,

:06:18.:06:19.

the situation isn't looking any better.

:06:20.:06:21.

The Government wants 95% of patients who show up at A to be treated,

:06:22.:06:24.

admitted or discharged within four hours.

:06:25.:06:29.

In November, nationally, only 88% of patients were dealt

:06:30.:06:31.

And in our region, it was worse still, at just 8%.

:06:32.:06:43.

And the picture has changed over time -

:06:44.:06:47.

this graph looks at the figures for November in each

:06:48.:06:49.

and from 2010 to 2013, the target was more or less being met,

:06:50.:06:53.

but in 2014 and 2015, there was a significant

:06:54.:06:57.

And last November it got worse again, with one in six emergency

:06:58.:07:03.

The first is an increasing number of people going to A,

:07:04.:07:14.

and there are a number of reasons for this,

:07:15.:07:16.

including that they don't always know how to access primary care

:07:17.:07:19.

services, particularly out of hours, and there are things that could be

:07:20.:07:22.

But the greater problem is probably the increasing number of older

:07:23.:07:26.

people who are sick and need to be admitted to hospital,

:07:27.:07:28.

and the hospitals are having real difficulty getting people from A

:07:29.:07:31.

into beds because the beds are just full.

:07:32.:07:34.

And that problem, bed blocking, doesn't just affect older people.

:07:35.:07:38.

Last August, Andrew Jameson from Northamptonshire

:07:39.:07:41.

was diagnosed with throat cancer, and had an operation

:07:42.:07:43.

But he ended up in hospital for longer than he needed.

:07:44.:07:49.

He was in a bed that could have been used by someone else,

:07:50.:07:52.

because the care was not in place for him to go home.

:07:53.:07:56.

Andrew was in hospital for two and a half weeks extra

:07:57.:07:59.

because he was waiting for funding, and then when they got

:08:00.:08:02.

the funding they were waiting to get killers to come in.

:08:03.:08:09.

It was frustrating for Andrew, because he obviously

:08:10.:08:13.

needed to get home to, you know, try to recover.

:08:14.:08:15.

So, how do the different hospitals in our region compare?

:08:16.:08:19.

Well, right at the top of the list is the Luton Dunstable,

:08:20.:08:22.

where 99% of patients are dealt with in four hours.

:08:23.:08:27.

A few of our hospitals are just below the Government target,

:08:28.:08:29.

while Hinchingbrooke, Addenbrooke's and Kettering

:08:30.:08:33.

The worst-performing hospital is Peterborough,

:08:34.:08:37.

where one in four patients waited longer than four hours.

:08:38.:08:41.

Across our part of the region, 12,000 patients waited for longer

:08:42.:08:44.

As ever, the NHS is asking people to ensure they only go

:08:45.:08:50.

to hospital if their condition is a genuine emergency.

:08:51.:08:59.

The new town of Milton Keynes is celebrating its 50th

:09:00.:09:01.

There'll be celebrations through the year, and they're

:09:02.:09:06.

getting under way tonight in Middleton Hall in Centre MK,

:09:07.:09:09.

where an exhibition illustrating MK's history has gone on display.

:09:10.:09:12.

Centre MK is a big part of Milton Keynes history. This shopping centre

:09:13.:09:31.

is a grade two listed. It is fitting to have an exhibition here to

:09:32.:09:35.

celebrate the half-century. We will learn more about that any second,

:09:36.:09:38.

but first a short film to you a flavour of Milton Keynes.

:09:39.:09:40.

A wonderful name for a lovely village,

:09:41.:09:42.

Milton Keynes, once not much bigger than a hamlet -

:09:43.:09:45.

it's the name given to one of the largest new town projects not

:09:46.:09:48.

Designed in the '60s, building began in the '70s.

:09:49.:09:54.

Originally six miles by ten, a new town built

:09:55.:09:56.

It is famed for its roundabouts and red bricks and more

:09:57.:10:03.

than 100 miles of pathway for pedestrians and cyclists.

:10:04.:10:08.

People were encouraged to move to a place where they'd find

:10:09.:10:13.

everything they needed - space, parks, an easy commute.

:10:14.:10:18.

Originally, buildings promised to be no higher the tallest tree.

:10:19.:10:23.

Lee Shostak, a town planner in the States, helped plan MK.

:10:24.:10:28.

For the people that chose to make their lives here,

:10:29.:10:30.

and the companies that chose to move here, for the investors who chose

:10:31.:10:36.

to make their investments here, the city has been successful.

:10:37.:10:42.

50 years on, it's now one of the fastest-growing towns

:10:43.:10:45.

in the country, home to more than 10,000 businesses.

:10:46.:10:49.

A place where you will find sport, innovation, leisure...

:10:50.:10:52.

But, with its population expected to rise to more than 300,000

:10:53.:10:56.

in the next ten years, this town with ambitions to become

:10:57.:10:59.

a city faces challenges - housing, health care and transport.

:11:00.:11:05.

What will the next half-century bring?

:11:06.:11:14.

OK, look at this. 1982, there is Centre MK, where we are. Look at all

:11:15.:11:22.

of this empty space, which has all been built on now. Look over here,

:11:23.:11:29.

1980. Look at the caption here on this advert. This is the Fenton

:11:30.:11:33.

family and this is what they did. They lived in that house for ten

:11:34.:11:38.

years. This is Ian Fenton, four years old in that picture. He is now

:11:39.:11:47.

14 years old. -- he is 40 years old. I remember my brother and I playing

:11:48.:11:51.

outside and when they took the photo of me and my family. I did not know

:11:52.:11:56.

what it was for. It went everywhere?

:11:57.:12:00.

Yes, London Tube stations, e-mail and radio Times.

:12:01.:12:06.

It had prayed and place in the exhibition celebration.

:12:07.:12:10.

It is amazing. An amazing city... It was amazing growing up here.

:12:11.:12:15.

You stayed here and you work here. What has it been like?

:12:16.:12:21.

Amazing, it really is. I go to the local football, Milton Keynes dons,

:12:22.:12:24.

and I have worked here all my life. I have good friends here and

:12:25.:12:29.

recently got married here. It is a good place.

:12:30.:12:34.

What does the 50th mean to you? The 50th... I can't put it into

:12:35.:12:37.

words because it is an amazing and brilliant place.

:12:38.:12:40.

They keep talking to us. We will have more on these celebrations.

:12:41.:12:45.

I'm afraid we have lost the microphone there but he is inside

:12:46.:12:49.

and warm. We will have a full weather forecast later in the

:12:50.:12:52.

programme as the snow moves along our region. You can keep up with

:12:53.:12:55.

weather and travel news in the morning on BBC local radio station

:12:56.:13:00.

from 6am. For now, that's it from me. I pass you over. Bye-bye.

:13:01.:13:09.

on the eve of the World Indoor Bowls Competition.

:13:10.:13:12.

And a rare glimpse at how life was lived 3,000 years ago.

:13:13.:13:21.

If you travel to work by train, how was your journey today?

:13:22.:13:24.

Did you get a seat, was the service on time and is there anything

:13:25.:13:27.

Some believe the best way to improve the railways is to bring them back

:13:28.:13:33.

The Green MP, Caroline Lucas, who is also joint leader

:13:34.:13:37.

of the party, is trying to get that done.

:13:38.:13:40.

Tonight, she's at a meeting in Norwich.

:13:41.:13:41.

But first, this from Andrew Sinclair.

:13:42.:13:52.

With new franchises and new rolling stock on the way, there are signs

:13:53.:13:57.

that things are improving on the railways in the region. And topped

:13:58.:14:01.

to hardened commuters like these at Ipswich this morning and there is

:14:02.:14:07.

still a lot of unhappiness. Trains constantly late, delayed. It is

:14:08.:14:13.

hard. We have had a patchy service whatever the franchise. The

:14:14.:14:16.

confusion between different ticketing rates is really bad. And a

:14:17.:14:21.

lot of support from renationalise Asian. I would like that. At the

:14:22.:14:27.

moment things are not going as they should be going. If passenger train

:14:28.:14:36.

is full of computers -- commuters... This is our British rail liked to

:14:37.:14:40.

sell itself in the 80s but the reality for passengers was

:14:41.:14:43.

different, with old rolling stock and poor punctuality. The then MP

:14:44.:14:48.

for South Norfolk and Transport Secretary was one of the early

:14:49.:14:52.

advocate of privatisation. We have seen it happen in other injuries

:14:53.:14:56.

were -- industries were when you break away from the monolithic

:14:57.:15:00.

structure, you see big improvements. The result? Dozens of different

:15:01.:15:04.

companies running our trains. Supporters of privatisation say they

:15:05.:15:07.

have brought with them millions of pounds of investment, which the

:15:08.:15:11.

public purse could never have afforded. There two key benefits.

:15:12.:15:16.

The train operating companies are taking the risk. There is

:15:17.:15:20.

significant investment in our array line which we would not have seen

:15:21.:15:25.

otherwise. Over ?1 billion of new investment. Critics say the

:15:26.:15:28.

companies have been slow to make that investment and they point to

:15:29.:15:31.

the brief re-nationalisation of the East Coast line as proof that public

:15:32.:15:38.

ownership can work. Labour is also against privatisation. The local MP,

:15:39.:15:42.

Clive Lewis, will be at the meeting tonight. How much the public behind

:15:43.:15:46.

the campaign? Both parties made this a big issue at the last election and

:15:47.:15:50.

it didn't seem to win them many volts. -- volts.

:15:51.:15:53.

If it went back into public ownership, how would you pay to run

:15:54.:16:04.

it? First of all, let's be clear about the proposal. It isn't that

:16:05.:16:08.

overnight we were to take all the rail franchises back. If you were to

:16:09.:16:13.

do that it would be costly. What we suggest is that as the different

:16:14.:16:18.

franchises come up renewal, or if a contract is broken, at that point

:16:19.:16:21.

they are brought back into public ownership. To be honest, you would

:16:22.:16:26.

actually save money as a result. A fragmented rail service is a costly

:16:27.:16:33.

one. There are a couple of hundred people employed trying to work out

:16:34.:16:37.

which rail company is responsible from which bit of a delay when you

:16:38.:16:42.

are laid. Around ?1 billion could be saved by not having a fragmented

:16:43.:16:47.

system. Already the taxpayer is paying huge amounts. Let's keep that

:16:48.:16:52.

money into the system rather than have it siphoned off. Sometimes, you

:16:53.:16:57.

take the line here, 3.7 billion pounds is going in. Page to the

:16:58.:17:03.

government. The government is not paying them. That is money they

:17:04.:17:08.

wouldn't get? If you look over all you will see there is more money

:17:09.:17:11.

going in from the government in a privatised system than there was

:17:12.:17:16.

even in real terms in the three years of to privatisation. We need

:17:17.:17:19.

to challenge this idea that the current system is economically

:17:20.:17:24.

sensible. Anybody you have been talking to on your programme will

:17:25.:17:27.

tell you the phrase in this country has some of the most expensive in

:17:28.:17:31.

Europe. The services we get are some of the worst. It has been a policy

:17:32.:17:38.

of yours and labour. Neither of you seem to get any volts? Over a

:17:39.:17:42.

million people voted Green of the last election. People vote on a

:17:43.:17:47.

range of issues, not just on returning railing to public

:17:48.:17:51.

ownership. Every there is a on that issue, a majority of people

:17:52.:17:59.

recognise that they would be better off under public ownership. This is

:18:00.:18:02.

not a dewy eyed reflection of what British rail was like. That was not

:18:03.:18:08.

perfect. We are looking at some of the modern rail systems in other

:18:09.:18:14.

parts of Europe which are cheaper and more effective. Return to those

:18:15.:18:20.

Julie eyed dated -- days, and the reason they got rid of it was they

:18:21.:18:24.

couldn't afford to invest in it, wasn't it? I think they got rid of

:18:25.:18:28.

it because that was the ideological visitation of the Conservative Party

:18:29.:18:31.

then and now. More money is going in from the government into the rail

:18:32.:18:36.

system now than before privatisation. It is not the case

:18:37.:18:40.

the private companies have brought in lots of fresh investment. A

:18:41.:18:50.

thousand new carriages over this franchise in this region? The

:18:51.:18:52.

government is continuing to put money into the rail system, as are

:18:53.:18:57.

the passengers. I can challenge you on the overall rail system. More

:18:58.:19:01.

money is going in now after privatisation, from the government,

:19:02.:19:05.

that is going on before. A lot of that money is being siphoned off to

:19:06.:19:09.

the shareholders. We have the irony that there is state involvement in

:19:10.:19:17.

the rail system. The irony is it the state system from Holland, Germany,

:19:18.:19:21.

France, these people are investing in our railways, and the profit our

:19:22.:19:25.

passengers are putting in goes back to those countries. It makes no

:19:26.:19:26.

sense at all. Thank you. It's the start of the World Indoor

:19:27.:19:27.

Bowls Championship at Potters resort This year, the reigning champions

:19:28.:19:30.

in both the men and the women's Norfolk by the coast in January,

:19:31.:19:49.

always cold but also the guarantee of top-class sport. The world in the

:19:50.:19:53.

's returns to Potters for a 19th successive year. -- the World Indoor

:19:54.:19:59.

Bowls Championship. And two Cambridge players are hoping for a

:20:00.:20:04.

successful defence. It is a hotbed of talent and there are lots of

:20:05.:20:09.

strong players within the country. It started with Greg Harlow. He has

:20:10.:20:14.

been great to Nikki and I over the years. So yes, it is good. We have

:20:15.:20:22.

other national players as well. The world number one. The world title

:20:23.:20:28.

had always eluded him, until last year. The game is a blur. I remember

:20:29.:20:35.

a couple of bowls here and there. This is what dreams are made of. I

:20:36.:20:40.

was fortunate enough last year to win my first world title. It means

:20:41.:20:45.

the world. Whatever sport you play, whatever your chosen sport, to be

:20:46.:20:49.

world champion doesn't get any better. Ellen was back on the carpet

:20:50.:20:55.

today getting a feel for it. She is now a three-time world champion. She

:20:56.:21:02.

beat Rebecca Field in the final. It is a really special place to play.

:21:03.:21:07.

Everybody wants to play here. It is on everyone's bucket list. If you

:21:08.:21:11.

are lucky enough to win the title, it is a memory that will stay with

:21:12.:21:17.

you forever. Can you defend it? Any player is capable of winning it.

:21:18.:21:22.

Everybody is of such a high calibre. It is about playing the big bowls at

:21:23.:21:26.

the right time and hoping things go your way. Time will tell. I will be

:21:27.:21:31.

trying four times as hard as last year. We will see in the next couple

:21:32.:21:36.

of weeks. The Championship starts tomorrow with the pairs. Both have

:21:37.:21:41.

some down time before the singles. But for any bowler, there is no

:21:42.:21:44.

better place to be them by the seaside.

:21:45.:21:44.

Some of the discoveries from one of the most important historical

:21:45.:21:47.

sites ever found in Britain have gone on display to the public.

:21:48.:21:50.

The site at Must Farm has been described as

:21:51.:21:52.

This is the site where it appears the homes

:21:53.:21:55.

were abandoned very suddenly because of a catastrophic fire.

:21:56.:21:58.

Archaeologists even found food left in bowls.

:21:59.:22:02.

So Must Farm can tell us a lot about everyday life 3,000 years ago.

:22:03.:22:07.

Today in Chatteris, people got to have a look for themselves.

:22:08.:22:15.

The aura of coming face-to-face with a way of life 3000 years old,

:22:16.:22:22.

preserved in incredible detail and pulling in the crowds. From a bowl

:22:23.:22:29.

still containing food residue, to individual fish scales. I think it

:22:30.:22:32.

is fascinating. I love the fact they have a whole village for us to see.

:22:33.:22:38.

It's marvellous to have so much here. Wonderful. It is very good to

:22:39.:22:44.

have this here in Chatteris so people know their background and

:22:45.:22:47.

where they come from. The artefacts have been found in Whittlesea just

:22:48.:22:52.

outside Peterborough. In the late Bronze Age, five wooden homes on

:22:53.:22:59.

stilts stood here above a river. But a devastating fire caused them to

:23:00.:23:03.

collapse into the water. It is thought those living there had to

:23:04.:23:06.

leave everything behind, which survived in the silt. A lot of the

:23:07.:23:14.

things we are finding, they are the best examples in England or Europe

:23:15.:23:21.

in many cases. It is a snapshot of a moment, a day in the life of the

:23:22.:23:26.

people. This is just a tiny sample of the artefacts discovered. Most

:23:27.:23:30.

are now undergoing complex scientific analysis. One of the most

:23:31.:23:35.

exciting things is an analysis of the food crusts found inside a lot

:23:36.:23:41.

of the pots. We will do a variety of different techniques on those to

:23:42.:23:44.

reconstruct what the meals were that were being eaten at the time of the

:23:45.:23:48.

fire. What is unique about this visit is the local museum... You can

:23:49.:23:57.

see the similarities with the one that was recently excavated. Today

:23:58.:24:04.

there have been reunited. The archaeologists invited here by

:24:05.:24:08.

Chatteris Museum to allow local people to travel back in time to a

:24:09.:24:12.

community we now know used a sickle to harvest crops, and eight Pike for

:24:13.:24:15.

one of theirs -- their last meals. I just find that fascinating. So

:24:16.:24:27.

much to learn. And we shall learn about the weather now.

:24:28.:24:32.

Lots of wintry weather to content with. Sleet and snow settling across

:24:33.:24:38.

the region. A couple of photographs have just come in. A couple of

:24:39.:24:42.

scenes in Essex. You can see that snow has settled there in the last

:24:43.:24:47.

30 minutes. It has all slowed down a little bit. An area of low pressure

:24:48.:24:51.

has brought heavy rain. The Met office has issued a weather warning

:24:52.:24:57.

for our part of the country for snow and ice. Ice will be a major hazard

:24:58.:25:02.

as temperatures fall away. This is the area of low pressure

:25:03.:25:05.

responsible. It has brought outbreaks across the region today.

:25:06.:25:10.

That rain has turned heavier. It is being undercut by a cold blast of

:25:11.:25:15.

dried Arctic air. Those temperatures are plummeting. This was the last

:25:16.:25:19.

couple of hours. It is mainly falling as rain are fewer hours ago.

:25:20.:25:26.

It is now turning to sleet and snow. It is possible we will get some

:25:27.:25:31.

accumulations. Initially it is falling on wet ground, so not really

:25:32.:25:37.

settling. Some accumulation is our already in evidence. As we go

:25:38.:25:41.

through the night, further accumulation is possible. It does

:25:42.:25:44.

clear eastwards by the end of the night. The major hazard for tonight

:25:45.:25:48.

will be ice. Temperatures are expected to get below freezing. It

:25:49.:25:57.

will be a hazard on untreated surfaces. A brisk wind from the

:25:58.:26:00.

north-west. That would be a feature of the weather tomorrow. That will

:26:01.:26:05.

bring some hazards, particularly for coastal areas. Low pressure coming

:26:06.:26:10.

down from the North. That is likely to bring some snow showers to

:26:11.:26:15.

Eastern counties, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, during rush hour. Also, a

:26:16.:26:20.

strong north-westerly wind developing, near gale force, on the

:26:21.:26:26.

coast. That is likely to coincide with high tide. We have a Met Office

:26:27.:26:29.

yellow warning out for wind through tomorrow. Those winds could peak of

:26:30.:26:36.

around 50 mph gusts, peaking around lunchtime and into the afternoon.

:26:37.:26:42.

They will also coincide with those high tides on coastal areas in Essex

:26:43.:26:47.

and Suffolk. A bitterly cold day. So many things to content with. Three

:26:48.:26:55.

or four Celsius our high. The winds easing as we get to the end of the

:26:56.:27:00.

day. Eventually it does start to calm down. A lot of dry and bright

:27:01.:27:05.

weather tomorrow. Snow showers in the north-east. Another cold night.

:27:06.:27:10.

As we look ahead, high pressure building in. Slightly less cold by

:27:11.:27:14.

the end of the weekend and slightly more calm conditions. Here is the

:27:15.:27:20.

outlook. Cold for the next few days. Strong winds, sleet, snow, ice.

:27:21.:27:22.

The full set! Don't forget you can keep up to date

:27:23.:27:24.

on all the latest developments with the weather and travel

:27:25.:27:27.

situation by listening to your BBC local radio station and checking

:27:28.:27:30.

out your local BBC website. Thanks for your company. See you

:27:31.:27:35.

tomorrow. ..and keep telling yourself

:27:36.:27:38.

over and over, "This will end." Ladies and gentlemen,

:27:39.:28:14.

the bride and groom. So what if I forgot

:28:15.:28:14.

our poxy anniversary? Er, I think this year

:28:15.:28:18.

was copper. 14th is poxy. Marriage is a marathon,

:28:19.:28:21.

not a sprint. Like a marathon,

:28:22.:28:23.

you have to keep on going... ..drink as much as you can... Please

:28:24.:28:24.

tell me you can see them, too. ..and keep telling yourself

:28:25.:28:30.

over and over, "This will end." Ladies and gentlemen,

:28:31.:28:34.

the bride and groom. Bring on the boys.

:28:35.:28:37.

Potential is massive with you.
