6:09 am
very early on in the season. we are not in winter yet, technically, that is the first of december, so it is quite early on in the year. you have to go back to maybe 2010, 1993, when we had some similar cold snaps like this, but they occurred towards the end of november. so it is not uncommon to see snow in november. you would expect that perhaps more in the higher ground of scotland, disruption further south maybe not so much. we are looking at maybe monday night into tuesday, this rain turning to snow, the high ground of the pennines, so the trans— pennine routes could be particularly dead. we could be seeing 5—10 centimetres of snow falling there. even down to low levels, they could be some snow settling. so, yes, potentially some disruption to tuesday morning. 50 disruption to tuesday morning. so keep an eye on the forecast, as they

6:11 am
a guitar described by noel gallagher as "the best in the world" has sold for more than £226,000 at auction. gallagher played the custom guitar on the third 0asis album be here now, released in august 1997. it's believed to be the one he played most often during that part of his career. fairly impressive, but i suppose you have to be a decent guitar player to feel the true value. i promised you a full look at the weather forecast with simon. he has already tantalised us with the prospect of snow, which of course could be a nuisance for many. not everybody who loves to see it stop absolutely.
6:12 am
it is cold already, in scotland we have had a frost already, temperatures down below freezing in west lothian. further south not quite as cold yet, but you will notice that colder weather, certainly, as we go through into next week. it is because we have a northerly wind, bringing some showers across scotland, those will turn increasingly when she would snow over the higher ground, perhaps later on down to low levels, the northern ireland and northern england, wales, england, we will see this shower moving its way in, they will be bright spells towards the south, perhaps northeast england, northeast scotland as well. temperatures lower than yesterday, four or five degrees across eastern scotland, the south 79 celsius. through tonight you can see that area of rain continuing to move southward those showers. clear skies across northern england and scotland, we will see a hard and significant frost here tonight, 1422 0
