Snow started to fall across Oxford this morning, as the Met Office steps us its warning for the weekend to amber in some areas.
Light snowfall has greeted people this morning as the cold snap continues.
And the Met Office, which previously issued a yellow warning for some areas of Oxfordshire, has now extended the warning to Sunday.

The yellow warning has also been extended south to cover almost all of Oxfordshire over the next 48 hours, with a more severe amber warning now in force to the north of Oxfordshire.
Chief photographer Ed Nix took these pictures from Chipping Norton, where the white stuff was falling heavily at about 10am.
Unsurprisingly many took to social media at the first sight of the white stuff.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice today and tomorrow as an 'Arctic blast' sweeps southwards, and has now extended it to Sunday.
It predicted 2-5cm of snow in the 'yellow warning' zone, which stretches into Oxfordshire - and while it doesn't seem quite that much yet, it is at least falling.

Even MPs are getting in on the act, with Oxford West and Abingdon MP Layla Moran tweeting this.
