Light snow has already been seen spotted in parts of Staffordshire and Derbyshire and we can now reveal when Burton, Swadlincote and Uttoxeter will get its first significant flurry.

Any snow tomorrow will be light and the Met Office says it's expected to settle heavily from around 6am on Sunday.

Heavy snow is then expected to continue into Monday and so is likely to affect commuters.

Three Derbyshire roads were closed last night due to the ice and snow. Although the A537 Cat and Fiddle and A53 Leek Road have reopened, the A57 Snake Pass is still closed.

There may be snow on the way for many this weekend

Snow is expected to hit central parts of the UK throughout Sunday with one to five centimetres landing on roads and paths and up to 10cm in places. It adds that 20cm could fall on higher ground.

The forecaster has also said that rural communities could become cut off by snow from Sunday onwards.

The Met Office chief forecaster said Arctic gusts will see temperatures drop to below zero as the bitterly cold snap bullies its way southwards from today.

The winds are blowing over from Russia and Siberia and are expected to bring freezing sleet, downpours and snowfall to large parts of the UK.

The worst of the conditions will be felt on higher ground, according to The Weather Channel .
