However most of the snow was short lived and washed away by rain and sleet. Daytime emperatures over the last few days have ranged from 1°C to 5°C degrees, while overnight temperatures have reached as cold as -5°C in some areas.
Tuesday is set to be a milder today too, before temperatures drop off again until Saturday when a big change will be noticed. According to the Met Office, temperatures of 4°C were recorded in Wales at 9am on Tuesday, however in mid Wales the temperature remained at -2°C at this time.
