Here we snow again - cold snap on the way

Those who love the pike fishing weather of yore might just be in for a treat this week.

For the Met Office says a change in the weather will see the return of overnight frosts and showery rain in many eastern regions of the UK, with a wintry mix over the hills.

Temperatures are expected to fall, especially later in the week, with eastern parts of the country the most likely to see some wintry weather.

Met Office chief forecaster Frank Saunders said: “Early indications are that there might well be some snow as we head towards next weekend, however, it is too early to say exactly where and when.”
