Yet another light snowfall. On the lowest ground, this is falling as rain or sleet. Snow & ice are NOT expected to feature much in the outlook period, with more emphasis om milder, wetter & windier weather.

Some snow at times this morning, probably becoming rather wetter in nature with time, as temperatures rise to about 1.  It should be drier this afternoon, with a very slow thaw.

Generally dry, with a few clear spells & a very slight frost. Some icy stretches around first thing tomorrow morning.

A dry, bright start to the day, with the morning the better time. Later in the afternoon, cloud will increase from the west, bringing some sleet or wet snow. Still rather cold with temperatures around 2.
