The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice across the UK.
Snow showers will become more frequent through Monday, continuing to feed in on northwesterly winds overnight. Accumulations of a couple of centimetres are possible at low levels, with higher ground expected to see five to ten centimetres in places.
In addition, icy stretches are likely to form following showers. Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said the cold conditions moved in from the Arctic over the weekend.
