Snow is set to cover the county from tomorrow, meaning amateur photographers will head out to take some fine snaps of the white stuff.

As people's minds are cast back to the flurries from last year's Beast from the East, here are a selection of some of KentOnline's favourite snow pictures from years gone by.

Met Office forecasters have issued a yellow weather warning for Kent, predicting snowfall from about 9pm tomorrow night.

This could be heavy at times and the worst coming overnight and into Wednesday.

There will also be icy surfaces and gritters will be out across the county.

There is a chance that untreated pavements and cycle paths become impassable because of black ice.

Snow is expected to finish at midday on Wednesday.

There is chance of travel delays on roads with chances of flights and trains being cancelled, power cuts and problems with mobile phone coverage could also occur.

The Met Office said: "A band of rain pushing east across parts of England is likely to turn to snow during Tuesday evening, with snow continuing into Wednesday.

"Accumulations of 1-3cm are likely quite widely, with accumulations of 5cm in places. There is a small chance that some areas could see up to 10 cm, more especially over the higher ground."

Earlier this week there was a brief flurry of snow in parts of the county.
