There have been some reports that a 'snow bomb' is set to hit the UK in mid-March with temperatures set to plunge.
The long-range Met Office forecast for the UK does show that it will be "cold across much of the UK" next week, with some wintry showers.
It was four years ago that St David's Day saw much of Wales covered in snow as the Beast from the East hit, but the Met Office is not forecasting anything as severe.

Forecasts for Sunday, March 6, to Tuesday 15 March say: "Sunday will be a dry day for many areas, though cloudier with patchy rain in the south and west. A few wintry showers are likely in the east.
"It will be colder for most with brisk winds.. For the following week it will likely be initially, largely dry with some wintry showers possible, as we move through the period there will be an increasing likelihood of spells of rain, potentially preceded by snow, arriving from the west.
"Winds will likely strengthen through midweek with an increasing likelihood of coastal gales. Rather cool or even cold across much of the UK, but temperatures may begin to recover to nearer normal from the west later in the period."
Maps from WXCharts show a cold weather front sweeping in from the south east next Thursday (March 10) but the heaviest snow will be in Scotland.
The longer range forecast for the rest of March says: " A continuation of the northwest-southeast split in weather conditions is likely. High pressure is most likely to affect southern parts, and as a result the weather will be more settled and drier here. The northwest is at the greatest risk of unsettled spells. It will probably be drier than normal for all however, although upslope areas of the north and west are likely to see more in the way of rain.
"It will be windy at times in the northwest, where the risk of windstorms is highest. Winds will be generally lighter further south. It is likely to remain mild, although still with the risk of brief colder spells."
