       "Further accumulations of 3-7 cm are expected to low levels, with 10 - 15cm possible above 150 metres. Where any modest daytime thaw has occurred, icy stretches are likely on untreated surfaces."

       There are currently no weather warnings for the rest of the week, however low temperatures are expected to continue throughout the week and fronts moving from the south est could mean further snow and warnings.

       According to Met Office deputy chief forecaster Chris Almond Thursday could see some of the "lowest temperatures of winter so far" dropping as low as -15C.

       He added: "By Sunday, milder air will have moved in across much of the UK, meaning rain is more likely than snow as we get to the end of the weekend. Northern Ireland and Western Scotland are most likely to see some showery outbreaks of rain and breezy conditions through Sunday, with conditions further south and east drier and more settled."
