Parts of Devon are set to see snow over the next few days as the region has just missed a white Christmas.
The news comes as the Exeter based Met-Office has issued a weather warning for parts of the country with a warning that more than four inches of snow could fall in some areas on Boxing Day.
The Met Office said the conditions could "increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services".
According to the alert, there is an 80% probability of "severe cold weather/icy conditions/heavy snow between 3pm on Friday and 12am on Wednesday in parts of England".
"Snow is likely in some northern and central areas, more especially on hills, with some significant accumulations possible," it said.
"There is also an increasing signal for snow to affect some southern areas. The areas currently at greatest risk are parts of the Midlands, and southern parts of northern England."
In Devon tonight is set to cold and frosty, however, it will turn cloudier through the early hours with rain arriving across the far southwest.
The Met Office says Friday in Devon will see rain and strong winds spread eastwards across the region. Some snow is possible on the Moors for a time.
Saturday to Monday will see 'rain and snow clearing southeast, then turning clearer from the north with some showers, perhaps wintry on hills at first. Thereafter, largely fine, but cold by day and night.'
