This morning's update from Camden...
The latest weather forecast for today shows snow flurries of up to 3cm are possible in London but mainly across the east and southeast of the capital. Winds will remain north to northeasterly.
Roads
Gritting of priority roads continued last night and has started this morning. All main priority routes remain open and buses are running.
We have enough grit to last today and tonight covering our main priority roads. We are expecting further deliveries of grit today.
Many side roads are covered in sheet ice and remain hazardous.
York Way and Arkwright Road NW3 are closed because of continued water leaks and Chetwynd Road NW5 is closed because of an abandoned British Gas van.
The gritting and maintenance of Red Routes and their adjoining pavements – Finchley Road, Camden Road and Euston Road – is the responsibility of Transport for London.
Pavements
Maintenance teams will continue to break up ice off main pavements but no grit will be spread today to conserve supplies. Pavements remain hazardous for pedestrians.
Pavements next to main routes will get some of the gritting overflow.
Refuse and recycling
The refuse and recycling service will remain disrupted all the time this spell of bad weather persists. We will make sure that every home gets at least one collection this week and will work over this weekend to catch up, weather permitting.
Regis Road recycling centre is expected to open this morning
Parks
All parks are open today.
Parking
We will enforce main roads only north of the Euston Road and all roads South of Euston Road. CCTV enforcement and removals will continue across the whole borough.
Transport
Transport services will not be running today and all affected clients have been contacted.
Schools
A list of schools closed will be posted on our website as we receive this information.
Housing
We are prioritising gritting on walkways on estates to ensure supplies last for as long as possible.
A number of Decent Homes sites have been closed for health and safety reasons, although work is continuing where possible; albeit on a reduced scale.
We are keeping residents informed of any site closures and are working closely with tenants over improvements currently in progress.
We will place up to date information about how services are affected on our web site so please check this regularly.
