The Met Office has forecast snow to hit England, Scotland, and Wales on Monday as temperatures plunge across the UK. According to the agency's weather maps, snow could arrive before 5am.
This comes as experts warn that the polar vortex winds have reversed direction, which could bring a brutal Arctic blast to Brits this winter.

The Met Office's maps show snow arriving in parts of the Scottish Highlands, southern Scotland including Lanarkshire, and parts of northern England. The early morning snow can be seen on the maps in Lancashire, Durham, Cumbria, as well as parts of North Yorkshire.
Later in the day, at around 22:30, almost all of Wales is expected to see snow. Only the south and southwest of Wales will avoid the snowfall.
