The Chief Forecaster's assessment said: "Sleet and snow showers will eventually become confined to areas exposed to the westerly winds overnight, but following the showers of Friday, ice will then be the main hazard, particularly on untreated surfaces.
"The snow showers may give an additional 1-3 cm of snow in places."
It's expected to get a bit milder as we move into a new week, with a positively warm 11°C forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.
