SNOW will fall in just days as an icy chill hits Britain, the Met Office has warned.
More wet and windy conditions could be on the cards for Brits after unsettled weather swept the nation.

It comes as Storm Ingunn’s Norwegian blast brought 107mph winds to the UK – as “danger to life” warnings sparked rail and flight chaos.
And the Met Office have now said that some snow could be expected later in the week.
The chance of “hill snow” will increase between Saturday, February 3, and Monday 5, said meteorologists.
The Met Office’s five-day forecast said: “Often windy with rain at times, especially in the north and west.
“Briefly turning colder in the north this weekend, with some hill snow, otherwise mild. Brightest in the east.”
Forecasters said Brits will have a chilly start to the day but it will be a mostly dry day with gentle winds and some sunshine.
But those in the north should expect windier conditions with some showers.
There is likely to be cloud and hill fog edging east overnight with patchy light rain or drizzle across western hills, especially in the north.
Brits battled against wet and windy conditions yesterday after the Norwegian Meteorological Institute named Storm Ingunn.
A gust of 106mph was recorded on top of Aonach Mor, a mountain in the Scottish Highlands yesterday morning.
Drivers have been urged to stick to main roads, grip their steering wheel firmly, leave plenty of space on either side of their car and avoid wind tunnels between trees and buildings.
More than 40 train services were cancelled in Scotland yesterday and ferry operator Carmac scrapped all its services.
Meanwhile a Cargolux cargo plane bound for Glasgow Prestwick Airport was diverted to Manchester yesterday due to safety concerns after experiencing strong winds.
Met Office expert Grahame Madge told The Sun: “The greatest impacts from Storm Ingunn, which was named by the Norwegian Met Service, will be affecting the Faroe Islands and Norway.
“As the main core of this low-pressure system moves well to the north of the UK, parts of Scotland and northern England have wind warnings in place for impacts associated with Storm Ingunn.
“We have seen some strong wind gusts already, but the greatest impacts will be expected in Scandinavia.”
