Yesterday's alert covered Nottinghamshire and other parts of England, including neighbouring counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. The Met Office said: "Rather cold conditions are expected to turn colder across much of the UK later Wednesday and through Thursday as air from the Arctic spreads south across the country. Very cold nights are expected, with widespread frosts and potentially severe frosts. Daytime temperatures persisting near or just above freezing, with overnight temperatures continuing to trend downwards. Wintry showers are also likely to affect some coasts, perhaps pushing into some inland areas at times, bringing a risk of icy patches."
Warnings of ice are currently in place for Wednesday, December 7, Thursday, December 8 and Friday December 9. However, the forecast shows temperatures as low as -3 between now and Monday, December 12.
Here are the predicted temperatures for Nottinghamshire between now and Monday.

- Friday - Highs of 3 degrees, lows of -2
