Stephen Davenport, forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said snow had fallen in the far north of Scotland and there will be more to come.
報業協會的天氣部MeteoGroup的氣象預測員斯蒂芬達文波特說，雪下降在蘇格蘭最北部和將會有更多來臨。
Temperatures dropped to freezing in Glencoe and minus 2C (28.4F) in Glenshee as the snow fell.
當大雪下降時，格蘭氣溫下降至冰點和Glenshee負 2度（28.4F）。
Mr Davenport said: ''It's not a surprise for that part of the country in March. We could eventually see 5cm-10cm (2in-4in) of snow over the hills and maybe a slight slushy covering in Glasgow.
達文波特先生說：''於3月在國家的那部分它不是一個意外，我們最終可看到5至10厘米（2英寸至4英寸）的雪在山上，和也許稍為泥濘的覆蓋在格拉斯哥。
''The hills in northern England and maybe North Wales will see a slight covering on Wednesday.
''Everywhere will see temperatures dropping below average. It will get wet and windy but the snow will be confined to those northern areas.''
''到處將看見氣溫將下降到低於平均水平，它將變得濕和多風，但雪將局限於北部地區。
Earlier predictions said the cold snap is likely to only last two days, with better weather coming by the end of the week.
Julian Mayes, senior forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: ''It should be milder by Friday, with rain coming in from the south west, but unfortunately it does look an unsettled picture over the Easter weekend.''
The country has seen mild temperatures for the best part of 10 days.
Mr Mayes said: ''The month started cold, but the warmer temperatures recently have taken the whole month up to about average for March. The highest reading of the year so far was one of 18C (64F) in Norfolk on March 18.
''But it's not unusual to get a northerly blast in springtime.''
