The Mirror reports that light snow showers were recorded in the Scottish Highlands overnight.

A 'snow and rain' mix was expected today, with between 500 and 700 metres forecast to fall as temperatures dip below freezing, according to the Mountain Weather Information Service.

Snow was also expected over the higher tops of England and Wales.

Weather maps from WXCharts suggest snow will persist in the Highlands until 3pm on Sunday, The Express reports.

These three counties could see snowfall:

The cold snap was driven by Storm Benjamin, which prompted the Met Office to issue yellow weather warnings.

On Friday, the Met Office's deputy chief meteorologist Chris Bulmer said: "As Storm Benjamin clears the UK and heads towards Denmark late tomorrow cold Arctic air will sweep across the country, bringing a noticeably chilly weekend as temperatures fall below average.

"Although many areas will see dry weather with sunny spells, it will feel cold in the brisk northerly winds.

"Showers are expected in the north and west, some of these falling as snow over Scottish mountains."
