Huge swathes of the UK are expected to be hit by snow today as weather maps reveal which areas will be worst affected.
The Met Office had earlier predicted that flakes would fall at some point next week as temperatures begin to drop - though admitted they were not clear "where and when" this would occur.
But radar data from independent forecaster WXCharts now shows a large area - marked in a deep red - with up to a 90% likelihood of snow forming over the next 24 hours, with only a few places in the south appearing to escape the wintry storms.
