The Met Office has hinted at the possibility of snowfall across the UK as December rolls in.<\/p>\n

This weekend, parts of the country could see a light dusting of snow, with temperatures expected to drop below zero in some areas overnight. In Scotland's north and on peaks over 400 metres high, there may be sleet and snow. The coldest night of the year is predicted to be this Saturday, with the first sub-zero temperatures across the nation.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists suggest that thermometers could hit minus 4C in Wales and minus 5C in the rural South West on that night. Manchester is expected to experience lows of 0C this Saturday, with single-digit temperatures continuing into next week.<\/p>\n

However, the Met Office's long-range forecast suggests more snow could be on the way. The forecast for next Tuesday (November 28) until the following Thursday (December 7) indicates the highest chances of 'some wintry showers' or even 'more general snow'.<\/p>\n

The forecast states: "Colder than average conditions are most likely overall, as chances of some wintry showers, or even more general snow towards the turn of the month, are increasing. Cloud and rain is likely to be clearing southeastern England early on, followed by a period of widely colder, drier and brighter weather and the return of overnight frosts."<\/p>\n
