He said: 'Through the rest of the this week it will be staying very cold with more snow on the way.

'We will see snow showers on Monday and through Monday night to Tuesday, when more persistent and organised areas of snow will be feeding in from the north.

'Winds will be easterly as we head through Tuesday and Wednesday, so with more snow it will feel really quite cold.

'It's all going to add up to quite a significant accumulation.'
