The Met Office’s Alex Deakin said: “The cold air is coming down from the Arctic across Iceland and that colder air has pushed right across the UK.
“There is a suggestion of some more wintry weather and snow on the hills could return for a time next week.”
According to the The Weather Channel , the temperature of some areas will plunge to -3, with parts of Snowdonia hovering around freezing until the weekend.
