"Accumulations of more than 10-15cm of snow could well occur quite widely, with the risk of 25cm or more over high ground.

"Clearly there is the potential for some severe disruption, and the public are advised to watch for updates to this warning and to be prepared to alter travel plans."

Dorset managed to escape snow earlier this week, but following icy roads the past few days - snow will cause problems for commuters on Friday.

Weatherman Ian Fergusson warned that more than 12 hours of snow could sweep across the southwest on Friday.

Taking to Twitter, Fergusson said: "Confidence now increasing re disruptive snow Friday. Potential for 12hrs snow across region from Friday am to Friday night."
