There's been a dusting of snow in parts of Wales today but not enough to build a snowman!

Mind you, it could be a different story over the weekend with a higher risk of some significant snow in Wales.

In the mean time, its a story of sunshine, frost and cold. Temperatures today reached 3 to 6 Celsius across the nation but tomorrow is going to be even colder with North Easterly winds from Russia.

Most of the snow tonight and tomorrow will be in the east and South East of England. Some heavy falls here here causing significant disruption and .Ìý

Here in Wales, the odd snow shower tonight but most places dry. The cloud will be well broken. The planet Jupiter will be bright and low in the South Western sky before 9 O'clock.

Lowest temperatures will be between 0 to - 5 with a widespread frost and icy roads.

Tomorrow a bright and crisp winter's day. You may see the odd snow flurry, most likely in the southeast, otherwise dry with some sunshine.

Colder than today. Top temperatures 0 to 3 Celsius but feeling a lot colder in the North Easterly wind. More like - 7 in places!

So if you are popping out to the shops make sure you wear plenty of layers.

Tomorrow night another widespread frost. Temperatures falling as low as - 5 Celsius. Cloud spreading from the North West will bring a few wintry showers.

On Saturday morning there will be an icy start in many places. A little sunshine but light rain and snow will spread from the North West during the afternoon and evening.

On Saturday night there is a risk of some heavier snow.

So on Sunday some of us could wake up to a covering of snow. Sunday itself bright. Some sunshine but hail and snow showers are likely, especially in the North where they could be heavy.

Next week staying on the cold side but there's still a big question mark over what the weather will do on Christmas Day... I will keep you posted!

If you do get snow then send in your photos to me here at Wales Nature and we'll feature them next week.
