Britain's wintery period sees no signs of slowing down after early indicators show the possibility of snowfall in the first weeks of November occurring across some areas of Britain.
According to the Met Office, forecasts show more "settled" conditions during the second week of the new month, which adds to the potential of the occurrence of snowfall and depleting temperatures.
The switch to arctic conditions is a far cry from the mildly cold October many are experiencing with Halloween expected to stay around a temperature of 18C.

Despite the absence of true wintery conditions, the presence of thunderstorms, heavy rain and powerful winds has kept Britons on their toes.
The Met Office's latest forecast suggests some snowfall is expected to fall across areas of the UK.
It read: "Unsettled conditions are expected to continue at first, with further heavy rain possible, particularly in the south.
"An increasing chance of settled weather remains during the second week of November, bringing a potential for colder, drier weather especially for the north and west.
"This will likely bring a risk of chilly nights with mist, frost and fog in places, with some snow expected to fall in any showers in northern and western areas."
A spokesman for the Met Office spoke of the unusual possibility of snow falling in the early weeks of November.
Stephen Dixon said: "There’s a chance of some snow through November for north-western parts of the UK.

"This isn’t usual for this time of year and the majority of any snow is most likely to fall over the Scottish mountains.
"Obviously, the stations in the higher ground see more, while those in the lower ground see fewer days of snow lying in the month."
Jim Dale, an independent forecaster from British Weather Services, said some snowfall was expected, but only "bits and pieces of snow" would be seen.
