"It's possible there could be some snow on the very tops of the highest peaks in Scotland. We're talking above around 800 meters." At the same time, the forecasters predict, the lowest temperatures in Wales will be 3C. By Thursday, Scotland will have only gotten chillier, reaching -2C in the coldest areas while Wales, following a similar track, sees its temperatures plummet to 0C. Scotland is expected to be the only home nation that sees a trace of snow, however.
