The Met Office have forecast snowfall in the UK tonight (Monday). The weather experts said as much as 7in could fall in parts of the country.
According to forecasters, a fall was expected from around 7pm this evening, growing heavier from midnight. But don't fret traffic chaos, as it's expected to be limited to the high ground of Scotland.
These areas will see their first "significant snowfall" of the year tonight, reports MirrorOnline.
Alex Burkill, a senior meteorologist at the Met Office, told The Mirror: "I think there will be snow over the highest ground of Scotland tonight. We will see it start at 7pm and it will turn heavy from about midnight until 9am.
"It's going to be the first substantial amount (this year). There will be more than 20cm of snow. Any of the rain will fall as snow at that height as it's so cold."
Mr Burkill said it will drop below freezing across the Scottish peaks this evening. Elsewhere, the chilliest weather is expected in the east of England, with lows of 1C anticipated tonight.
It comes after temperatures plummeted to -4C last night. The Met Office's long-range weather forecast for November 23 to December 2 says that unsettled weather will continue.
Brits can expect periods of rain and strong winds into the beginning December, as well as temperatures creeping back into the seasonal average.
The Met Office has forecast: "Unsettled weather is most likely to dominate at the start of this period. This is expected to bring spells of cloud and rain interspersed with heavy showers and brief dry interludes, especially in the northeast.
"Moderate to strong winds are likely for many, with coastal gales at times, especially in the west, and temperatures a little above the seasonal average. Towards the end of November and into the beginning of December, conditions likely to remain changeable, with periods of rain and strong winds, probably becoming a little less windy overall with temperatures trending back nearer to the seasonal average.
"More settled weather could become a little more prevalent, as well as overnight frost and fog."
