'There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off.

'There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.'

Warnings are also being made over the risk of black ice forming on untreated pavements and cycle paths.

Dan Holley, of forecasters Weatherquest, said there is 'still some uncertainty' over the chances of snow, which are very 'finely balanced'.

'The latest data continues to suggests a patchy 1-3cm of snow on Tuesday night, with a few places up to 5cm,' he said. 'Very low risk of anything higher than this (10pc chance of 10cm etc).

'Some places may not see any lying snow, particularly near some coasts.'
