set to stay bitterly cold to the end

of the week as wind picks up to gale

force as we see the risk of heavy

snow moving up

force as we see the risk of heavy

snow moving up from the south later.

If you're watching this time

yesterday I said we were still in

the start of the cold snap and the

main course is yet to come. It is

getting colder and more snowy and

more of us will see heavy snow as

the week comes on. For some areas,

that means more travel disruption.

The wind chill becomes more of a

factor. Bitterly cold air from the

East, changing to a south-easterly.

Snow showers eventually lifting

north to both England and Scotland.

Parts of the south-east of England

being pummelled overnight. The Met

office with an amber warning in

place until the morning.

Lincolnshire, Essex, Kent, a further

5-10 centimetres in places.

Scattered snow showers

Scattered snow showers elsewhere and

-10 in Oxfordshire. Much colder in

the countryside. Check the situation

in the morning and find out what has

happened close to you in the morning

Wednesday to Thursday, an amber

warning from the Met office. The

east of Finland and into the central

belt of Scotland. A constant feed of

heavy snow showers. -- the East of

England. It will pile up in some

places and drift into the wind.

Nasty travelling conditions across

higher routes and in the central

belt. Another cold day, even colder

than it has been. Some spots not

above freezing. Sunny spells and

scattered snow showers, but

factoring in the wind and it will

feel like minus double figures for

many. Colder than it has been this

week. The wind will pick up going

into Thursday. This is named by the

Portuguese as storm Emma. We will

get an impact with strong wind on

Thursday and snow spreading up into

southern England on Thursday. It

looks like south-west England and

into Wales will bear the brunt of

disruptive snow and blizzards, icy

conditions. Snow showers heading

into Northern Ireland. Still in

eastern Scotland, still the Met

office amber warning and another in

south-west England and Wales where

things could turn nasty on Thursday

quite quickly. By Friday, this is an

area of snow slowly moving north

into Northern Ireland. Some

uncertainty as to how heavy it will

be. Snow showers into eastern

Scotland for most but it still

bitterly cold. It's a little less

cold into the far south-west. That

is the trend
