Ice And Snow Disrupt The UK
A band of rain, sleet and snow is set to spread from the northwest giving further accumulations of snow to eastern parts of the UK.
The East Midlands, northern England and eastern Scotland look to be particularly affected with 10 to 15 cm possible on hills. Further south and west a mixture of rain and sleet is most likely but with temperatures dropping below freezing overnight, there will be a continued risk of icy stretches developing.
Tuesday should be much drier for the bulk of the country but further snow showers are expected to affect eastern coasts giving a further few centimetres in places.
Andy Page, Met Office Chief Forecaster, said: "We expect rain, sleet and snow to affect many parts of the UK over the next day or so, with eastern areas of Britain seeing the most snowfall. With some very low temperatures overnight we expect ice to cause some impacts too and people should be aware that there is likely to be some travel disruption."
Weather warnings for ice and snow were issued for many parts of the UK over the weekend.
