Weather maps have turned a shocking purple ahead of the potential arrival of yet another band of snow that could leave only a small portion of the UK untouched.

New charts from weather service WXCharts have shown what appears to be an arriving cold front, with the latest improvements to the forecast set to dissipate by the week's end. The slightly warm - yet still cold - temperatures felt by Brits this week are set to end by the weekend, when Met Office meteorologists predict a cold front will arrive.
