THE Met Office has issued a snow warning – with flurries set to cause “disruption” across large parts of Britain.
Temperatures are set to fall below zero across much of the UK over the coming days.

There will be wintry showers up and down the east coast and the north as cold air blows in from the North Sea.
As the mercury sinks, there is also a chance of snow and ice across parts of the south.
Met Office expert David Oliver said: “We could see an area of warmer and moisture-laden air ‘bumping’ into the cold air further north.
“Along the boundary of the two air masses lies a zone across southern and central Britain where snowfall could develop fairly widely.
“Snow in any affected area is unlikely to be anything more than transient and short-live.
“But it could lead to small totals and some disruption over a few hours before melting.”
The UKHSA has issued a yellow cold-health alert for northern England, which will be in place for the rest of the week.
Today is forecast to be largely dry, with plenty of late autumnal sunshine.
There will be a scattering of showers – and a chance of snow showers in north east Scotland.
This evening will see showers in coastal area and clear skies elsewhere in the UK.
A widespread frost will form overnight along with stretches of fog and ice.
There are no weather warnings in place this week.
