After a week of sunshine and mild spring temperatures, many will have been shocked this morning to see snow outside their windows.
A snow shower has left a light dusting on roofs across Wirral and there were reports of showers in Liverpool areas including L17 and the city centre.
Today's temperatures are expected to be up to 11°C lower than they have been on average recently and with the wind chill it is expected to feel around -2°C at times.
And more could be on its way as the Met Office has predicted light snow for Liverpool at around 8pm tonight.
Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri, said: “The Met Office has been signalling a dramatic change in weather type for several days, with very cold air moving from the Arctic through Sunday night, bringing snow showers and freezing overnight temperatures and all accompanied by strong northerly winds accentuating the cold.
"Although snow showers will predominantly affect the north and north-west, they could occur almost anywhere in the UK early this week, at least temporarily.
"Some areas will remain drier and see few, if any, showers, for example, the southeastern quarter of England and the Central Belt of Scotland.
"Even in southern parts of the UK daytime maximum temperatures will struggle to rise above 9.0 °C, and although this region is likely to remain drier, the occasional wintry shower cannot be ruled out."
Temperatures are expected to remain below average for the coming week.
The Met Office says it’s not unusual to see big swings in temperature across the UK in spring.
However, a drop to single figures for most for Easter Monday poses a challenge for sectors such as agriculture and horticulture.
