The Met Office has issued snow and ice warnings which cover much of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland from this afternoon. A band of rain, sleet and snow followed by wintry showers will move south across western and central parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday evening and then into parts of northern England and north Wales early on Monday morning.
Today the east will see the best of the sunshine, however, following on from Storm Bella there will also be blustery showers.
Netweather forecasters have said the cold air is now of polar origin meaning showers will turn wintry.
Already there has been snow over Scotland and on hills further South, with showers of rain hail and sleet turning to snow at times even at lower levels in some of the heavier showers.
Met Office snow and ice warnings are in place from today through to Monday, with wintry showers, sleet and snow likely across warning areas.

The forecasters warn: "Localised accumulations of 1-3 cm are possible to lower levels but higher accumulations are likely over higher ground. Above 250 metres, accumulations of five to 10 cm are possible.
"Skies are expected to clear from the north overnight and widespread ice is likely to develop and persist through to Monday morning, especially across central and eastern areas."
Maps show plunging temperatures today and Monday with charts turning purple with the cold as snow hits much of the country.
Met Office snow and ice warnings are concentrated in the North of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland today, before spreading south to include London, the East Midlands and East of England on Monday.
The snow and ice warnings in place today are for Central, Tayside & Fife, East Midlands, Grampian, Highlands & Eilean Siar, North East England, North West England, Northern Ireland, SW Scotland, Lothian Borders and Strathclyde.
These warnings last from 3pm today until 10am on Monday, with the Met Office cautioning of the potential for icy surfaces and some travel disruption.
Another snow and ice warning is in place today until 3pm, for Central, Tayside & Fife, Grampian, Highlands & Eilean Siar, North East England, North West England, Northern Ireland, Yorkshire and Humber, SW Scotland, Lothian Borders and Strathclyde.
The forecasters warn: "Following clearance of heavy rain this evening, colder conditions will lead to ice forming on untreated surfaces across many parts of the warning area.

"There will also be showers which will turn increasingly to snow on high ground: parts of western Scotland look likely to see a few cm above about 200m elevation, with a slight cover at low levels in heavier showers."
On Monday, the East Midlands, East of England, London and South East England, North West England, South West England, Wales and the West Midlands are under a snow and ice warning from midnight until 6pm.
The Met Office warns: "An area of rain is likely to move south through Sunday night and Monday across parts of England and Wales.
"There is the potential for this to turn to snow for a time.
"There is a lot of uncertainty in where snow develops with some areas seeing little or no accumulations.
"However, there is a very low likelihood of one to three centimetres, and locally five to 10 cm falling in a few places, particularly over higher ground of Wales above 200 metres.
"As well as snow, widespread ice may also be an issue, especially where treatment has been washed off road surfaces."
As Storm Bella moves southward, Netweather forecasters say it will bring some longer spells of sleet or snow to parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, the North West and perhaps to North Wales during the night.
This will leave a covering especially on hills, and as temperatures fall to between -2 and 0C, wet or slushy surfaces at lower levels will turn icy.
Elsewhere there should be fewer wintry showers between clear spells, but snow could fall almost anywhere, leaving a covering on some hills by morning.
Temperature maps show continuously cold conditions over the next few days, turning purple as the mercury drops.
As the week continues, further snowfall is likely, especially on northern hills, but at lower levels, the showers may fall as rain, sleet or hail at times.
