Well the first relatively low elevation snows have arrived to large parts of Scotland and Northern England thanks to biting polar-origin wind wrapping around a low near Iceland.

Scenes from across the Northern UK this morning.

Bathgate, West Lothian

Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire

Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire

A cold day with further wintry showers ahead.

As a new low pressure centre forms over the English Channel, a new band of moisture pivots in off the North Sea to eastern areas of the UK. While significant snow amounts are likely above 100-200 metres, low levels are likely to see a transient covering before snow turning to rain mid to late Friday morning.
