exception to that rule probably over the hills where again there could be

a bit of snow, but not accumulating. Another cold

However I paint this weekend's picture, I'll need a palette of

grey. Thereby a a lot of cloud around but I managed to find some

sunshine. I don't know how but there was a couple of hours towards the

south-west in Cornwall, a beautiful day. The south-west saw glimpses of

sunshine. Further east, cloudy, cold and grey with winds off the North

seep and a scattering of wintry showers. Yes, rain sleet and snow, a

dusting at lower levels through the day. It brought this beautiful

picture on the outskirts of Aberdeenshire. But enough of the

sun, let's get back to the nitty gritty and talk about the snow

showers that will continue across the eastern half of the UK

throughout the night. There will be some significant accumulations

higher ground. A dusting at lower levels, and it will 's be cold

further north and west, particularly in sheltered Highlands of Scotland,

temperatures well below freezing. Here you could start off with

sunshine but again at 9.00 on Saturday we'll have snow showers

across Aberdeenshire. Stretching to north-east England. But perhaps

first thing, we'll continue with snow at lower levels. A cold start

to the day with rain across the east coasts here answer only around one

or two degrees at 9.00am. The difference with Saturday, strong

winds, gales locally into the far north-east but they are likely to

drive the showers further west on Saturday, into North Wales, maybe as

far south as Cardiff for the rugby at the Millennium Stadium. It'll

feel cold and grey. Perhaps the best of any brightness up into the far

north but temperatures struggling. As we move through Saturday night

noop Sunday, another spell of snow across the Pennines and into the

Peak District but that snow will ease and it'll turn more to rain

through the day on Sunday. A cold, windy day for many. A lot of cloud

around and particularly under that damp, showery weather, but again,

the best of any drier weather, perhaps reserved for the extreme

north-west. Four to six the high. There is a glimpse perhaps as we

move into Monday and Tuesday of something starting to change.

Somewhat drier air breaking the cloud up across England and Wales on

monds and that means, as we move through the week, there are

indications that we lose that cold weather. The milder air looks likely

to push up from the south. And so, towards
