Finally, after months of waiting - tomorrow could be the day Cambridge sees snow.

The remainder of Tuesday will remain clear with icy spells.

The rest of the week will be relatively mild and bright with temperatures sticking between 3-9C.

Elsewhere in the UK

Some UK forecasts have warned of disruptive snowfalls with up to 10cm of coverage, blizzard conditions in strong winds and overnight temperatures that will feel as cold as -16C.

The Met Office said cold weather will likely continue across much of the country over the next few days, with temperatures in many places struggling to climb above 3C to 6C and a risk of thundersnow in the west.

A cold weather alert has been raised to its second-highest level ("severe weather action") because the brutal wintry conditions pose a danger to life for vulnerable Brits.
