Warning! More snow has been forecast for the end of the week

The weekend has brought milder weather but forecasters are warning Brits to prepare for a cold week ahead.

And by Friday - as most schools break up for the festive holiday - we can expect heavy snow showers and arctic winds.

Sky weather presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said things will start to get cooler tomorrow.

Scotland was pretty much paralysed and if the next spell is going to be as bad, then you've got to ask, what are they going to do differently this time?

"We'll start to drag in a Northerly air flow bringing in the cold arctic air.

"For the latter part of the week temperatures will really take a tumble and there will be the risk of heavy snowfall, especially in the East.''

Met Office Chief Forecaster, Bob Wilderspin said: "Colder weather is expected to return next week.

"Northerly winds are predicted to bring a return to cold days and significant overnight frosts."

An AA spokesman said he hoped motorists would be better prepared for the bad weather after the recent treacherous spell.

"Scotland was pretty much paralysed and if the next spell is going to be as bad, then you've got to ask, what are they going to do differently this time?"
