The Met Office have revealed the exact date snow will fall as a polar blast spreads across the UK.
After Storm Agnes, Storm Babet and Storm Ciarán battered the UK this autumn, the Met Office have announced that the first sprinkle of snow will occur this week.
Earlier this month it was revealed that a snow storm could be on its way to the UK, with temperatures in Scotland dropping to 0C this week.
In a video posted to their YouTube channel, Met Office Meteorologist Aidan McGivern has predicted that there could be some snow on Saturday 18th November.
Giving his forecast for Saturday 18th November, Mr McGivern said: "For the start of Saturday, we keep the cold conditions at first across parts of Central and Eastern Scotland, so there will be a touch of frost in the northeast of Scotland and some snowflakes over the hills and mountains, as the rain bumps into into that cold air."
As the day continues, the Met Office website states the day will be: "Turning wet and windy through Saturday with rain spreading northeastwards and showers following behind. Sunny spells returning on Sunday with the risk of blustery showers which will continue into Monday."
