‘Into the early hours of Sunday, even places like the Chilterns and the high parts of the south east might get brief falls of wet snow.The forecaster added: ‘Going to rush hour on Monday morning, we could see a couple of hours of snow in the higher grounds of Wales, northern England and Scotland as a band of snow from the West hits colder temperatures.’Much of southern England is likely to see a mix of blustery showers and sunhine until Monday.
