The weather has certainly taken a cold turn in recent weeks, with many households that were holding out deciding to turn the heating on. Forecasters are now warning the country could be in for snow and sub-zero temperatures, in a period of weather being dubbed the Troll from Trondheim.
Currently, the start of next week will see temperatures of around 5-7C, with lows of 1C in Nottinghamshire. But as we move to later in the week, from Wednesday, December 7, there is set to be another cold snap, with daytime temperatures as low as 2C on Thursday and overnight lows of -3C.
Experts are continuing to keep an eye on the Beast from the East weather system, The Express reports, but a change in pressure patterns could put the UK in the firing line for a snowy blast from the Norwegian Trondheim Fjords.

Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said: “The Beast from the East is still slumbering, however, in the meantime we are now pretty sure that from the middle of next week a northerly plunge will sweep over Britain."
“This could bring snow to high ground, first to the north, and very low overnight temperatures, certainly well-below freezing in parts."
“So, we are now looking at more of a northerly to north-easterly incursion next week, rather than a Beast from the East just yet, we should be preparing for the Troll from Trondheim.”
