A Met Office spokesman told Metro.co.uk: Monday night going into Tuesday will be particularly cold, as rain from the south west bumps into colder air and snow across northern England and northern Wales as well as parts of Scotland.
He added: Were expecting some snow on higher ground in Northern England and Northern Wales, with nothing too significant on lower levels.
In the South and South East it will generally be quite wet. Were also expecting widespread frost across the UK.
Most of the snow is predicted to fall on higher ground in the north, the Met Office said, with temperatures between -5C and -7C going into Tuesday.
Elsewhere across the UK, the wet and windy weather is expected to continue.
