Snow warning as Arctic air sweeps in
IT may well be coming up to the May Day bank holiday weekend but the country could be in for one last taste of winter this week as a blast of Arctic air sweeps in.
The Met Office said daytime temperatures will struggle to reach double figures with the possibility of showers turning to snow over high ground.
Overnight it will be cold enough for a frost with temperatures hovering around freezing.
