The Met Office has released their prediction for snow during the reported arctic blast.

On January 9, walkers were out enjoying the beautiful snow at Ditchling Beacon. As picturesque as it may be, snow can also bring about some challenges. Slippery roads and train delays are not exactly ideal, but we can't deny the charm of a winter wonderland.

After days of snow, ice, rain, and weather warnings from the Met Office, the temperatures finally rose a bit earlier this week, melting away the snow in the UK. But before you pack away your winter gear, don't get too comfortable just yet. The national weather service has issued a warning that another cold front is on its way, this time from North America.

So when can we expect to see some more snow? According to the Met Office, there is a possibility of "snow grains" in the southern parts of the UK today. In other areas, it will be mostly cloudy with some scattered rain showers. For those of you who are unfamiliar with snow grains, they are tiny ice balls that resemble bean bag filling, measuring no more than 1mm in size. The Met Office describes them as the solid version of drizzle, and they usually occur when the temperature is near freezing.

Speaking of temperatures, some places in Northumberland and County Durham could see lows of -3°C. The Met Office's forecast for Sunday is simply "chilly," with a higher chance of snow grains in the south. As we head into the new week, it looks like we can expect more rain and wind in the southwest, with the possibility of even more wet and windy weather towards the end of the week.

The Met Office also mentions that there is a slight chance of colder air from Europe moving into northern parts of the UK, increasing the chances of snowfall in those areas. And as we approach mid-February, we may experience some brief cold snaps, bringing along fog and frost.

But where exactly will it snow? At the moment, it's hard to say for sure. The weather has been quite unpredictable lately, and even the experts at the Met Office can't give a definite answer. There was a small chance that we would see some snow showers on Monday and Wednesday, but now, it seems like there is a higher chance of snow in the north on Thursday, according to Exacta Weather.

Although there are no weather warnings in effect at the moment, the UK Health Security Agency has issued alerts for the cold weather, which will remain in place until next Tuesday. These alerts warn that the cold temperatures may have minor impacts on health and social care services and could pose a greater risk to vulnerable individuals. The only region not under a yellow alert is the South West.

So, while the snow may be a lovely sight, it's important to stay prepared for any potential disruptions and stay safe during this cold spell. Keep an eye on the weather forecasts and bundle up if you plan on venturing out into the winter wonderland.
