Fresh UK snow maps for Sunday (November 17) show the EXACT hour a three-day blast of flurries will start. Snow is anticipated to make its way across Scotland on Sunday afternoon, before reaching swathes of northern England by Monday (November 18).

The Met Office's yellow alerts and warnings are in place from 4pm on Sunday afternoon to 10am on Tuesday. Up to 10cm of snow is possible in some areas by Monday morning with freezing temperatures likely to cause ice to form on untreated surfaces.

The Met Office explained: "During Sunday, showers will turn increasingly wintry through the day with hail, sleet and some snow. Little snow is likely to settle at low levels by day, but through the evening and overnight, 1 to 3 cm may accumulate in some places, whilst 5 to 10 cm is possible on high ground above 300 metres by Monday morning.

"Meanwhile, as temperatures fall overnight, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces." It added: "Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.

"If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

"If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger)." It said: "Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."
