The UK is looking at treacherous conditions this week as snow falls across the country
The Met Office has issues fresh yellow weather warnings for the coming week, as the country looks likely to continue to be bombarded by snow and chilly weather.
Northern Scotland will see the worst of it with blizzards expected in the highest areas overnight on Sunday.
As it gets towards midweek, even the south-east of England has been told to expect 1-3cm of snow with 5-10cm possible on higher ground. A spokesman for Met Office said: "Snow, possibly heavy at times, developing overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday."
Power cuts could occur in some areas and mobile phone coverage, may also be affected, the Met Office added.
Writing on social media the forecaster said: "A yellow severe weather warning for
snow has been issued for Tuesday night and Wednesday morning for southeast England. 1-3 cm of UK snow are expected widely. Stay weather aware."
The updates come after a week in which Brits were warned to
brace for "thundersnow" and temperatures dropping well below freezing.
Looking to the week ahead, weather presenter Kirsty McCabe
told Sky News: "The weather will be cold and unsettled this week with a messy mix of rain, snow and ice.
"During Tuesday evening a band of rain pushing east across parts of England is likely to turn to snow, with up to 10cm of snow possible over the hills of central and southern England.
"The snow risk will continue into Wednesday with many places seeing accumulations of a few centimetres.
"As always with snow forecasting, the details will be tricky, especially for the London area.
"However, even a small amount of snow or ice could lead to travel disruption."
