Very cold weekend with sleet or snow for many

[Updated  09:55 04/02/2012]
SnowThe cold weather will continue during the weekend and much of the country is likely to see some sleet or snow as a weather front pushes in from the west meeting cold air over Britain. Central and eastern parts in particular are likely to see significant accumulations of snow of perhaps 10cms or even more locally. In the west and south west rain is more likely, and further east some of the snow could turn back to sleet or rain before clearing away. If you intending to travel this weekend then check your local weather and travel information regularly. The cold weather looks like continuing into the early part of next week at least. If you're heading off further afield this winter to look for snow, remember to check our great new winter sports weather forecasts and winter sports weather risk graphs which cover most major European winter sports resorts. The weather risk graphs are also available for UK locations. Buzz will continue to have the latest news and views through the winter and spring. 
Autumn and winter on TheWeatherOutlook
Autumn and winter usually bring a wide range of weather to the UK
 making it even more important to keep up with the latest weather forecasts. On TWO our forecast data is fully updated every 6 hours, every day of the year. So whether you’re using our daily, 16 day or 7 day weather forecasts you can be sure you’re viewing the latest weather outlook. We've also recently upgraded our site infrastructure so that we can keep things running more smoothly during busy periods, as well as provide more data and services to you free of charge. During January we'll be stepping up the pace of development on the site, so keep an eye out for a range of new features. Throughout the winter Buzz will continue to discuss the weather prospects and in particular the chances of snow. Comments and feedback are always welcome, and let us know if you'd like a postcode or place added to our forecast location database. Despite quite a lot of bland and non-descript weather at times, 2011 has been a record breaking year on TWO. Thank you for your support.
