Will Lang, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said: "While it is not unusual to see snow in March, the cold weather we have seen has been quite prolonged.
"The next period of wintry weather has some uncertainty at this stage regarding where the worst of the snow will be so it is essential to watch for updates to severe weather warnings.
"People should be prepared for further disruption as we head through the next few days."

“This month has been more like February of years gone by. I am still waiting to hear frogs croaking, usually a good indicator. It's possible there may not be many around this year, their numbers can fluctuate. Just now I'm listening to the wind whistling. It's strong enough to come through the dog flap and blow a door open.”
