A cold snap is expected to hit the UK this week, bringing sub-zero temperatures across the country.
The Met Office said there may be hill snow on Thursday in Scotland and Wales.
However, there is a chance that southern England could be hit too.
Sub-zero night-time temperatures have already been recorded with a Scandinavian weather system predicted to drive the mercury to minus 8C.
