Snow Threat With Cold Snap 'Around The Corner'
Forecasters warn temperatures could fall as low as two degrees Celsius with "significant" snow likely in places.
The first low level snowfall of winter is expected as early as next week, as temperatures plummet and bitter Arctic winds blow into Britain.

Forecasters at the Met Office warned of "significant snow accumulations" over higher ground, potentially as far south as Devon, as well as in non-mountainous northern areas.

Wintry showers are expected to bring a combination of rain, sleet and snow as they are pushed southwards by northerly winds on Tuesday.

The mercury is set to drop sharply, rising barely above freezing during daytime hours for some. Overnight temperatures will feel as cold as minus five degrees Celsius in parts of the North of England, forecasters said.

Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said: "It's been a relatively mild autumn so far, but the first proper cold spell is just around the corner, reminding us that winter is upon us.

"It will turn noticeably colder early next week and by Tuesday, temperatures will range from two degrees Celsius in northern Scotland to six degrees Celsius in southern England.

"There'll be widespread frosts overnight too with a risk of icy patches.
