Up to 20cm of snow could submerge parts of the country by Tuesday, according to the latest BBC weather forecast. Temperatures overnight into Sunday plunged as low as -12C in parts of


Scotland. BBC meteorologist Chris Fawkes warned that "we are looking at a really cold day coming up".  Mr Fawkes said: "We do have some rain on the way for us, and that will


bring the threat of snow over high ground, particularly in Wales as well as also for Northern Ireland. He pointed out that temperatures in Scotland last night dropped to -12C in Braemar,


while Loch Glascarnoch saw -11C. The meteorologist told the BBC: "The frost against with us tomorrow morning in the north, while it will be more limited in the south. "On Monday


things will turn rather icy in northern England and Scotland." JUST IN: SNOW FORECAST LIVE UPDATE: HEAVY SNOW TO COVER ENTIRE UK ON TUESDAY The BBC weather presenter continued:


"The air behind this current weather front coming in is a lot milder, so we will see some weather changes over the next few days "It will be a cold day for most of us, typically


around 2C to 3C, but there is milder air nosing into the south-west with temperatures up to 8C in Plymouth." He warned that Tuesday could see some significant snow chaos, adding:


"On Tuesday, we could see some travel disruption over these parts of the country." "As these weather fronts run into that colder air, across the Pennines and the high ground


in Scotland we could see as much as 20cm of snow building in. "So be aware of travel disruption in those areas." More than 300 flood warnings also remain in place after waters rose


treacherously in several areas across England. A Met Office warning is in place for snow across much of Wales, threatening travel disruption, power cuts and rural communities being cut off.

because of bad weather.
