Archant weatherman Ken Blowers said temperatures in Suffolk dropped to -6C overnight - which was the coldest recorded temperature since the bitter weather began in December - and the temperatures are likely to continue dropping this week.
Forecasters predict snow and sleet showers to arrive in the region tomorrow afternoon from a front moving in from the north.
The snow is likely to fall until Friday, but not to the same extent as before Christmas. However there are warnings of a 'weather event' at the end of the week, which Mr Blowers predicts could be heavy snow.
