Temperatures are already freezing and now there is a warning that Wales could see "widespread snow" next week. In his latest forecast, BBC Wales weather presenter Derek Brockway says it could fall widely in the coming days.
There has already been a sprinkling of snow on higher ground in parts of Wales, but it could spread further before long. Derek says: "It is going to stay really cold for December. Very cold for the time of year. We're looking at widespread sharp frosts down to -5°C and -6°C in a few spots overnight. A few wintry showers as well over the next few days. These falling as rain, hail, sleet and snow."
Moving on to the forecast for next week, he says: "Next week is going to stay cold, the wind is going to pick up. Later on next week, say Thursday, there is a risk of more widespread sleet and snow, spreading up from the south west. It is not definite yet but it is something we are keeping a close eye on."
