We may not have had a snowy Christmas, but the Met Office predicts that Berkshire will see snowfall before the end of the year.
A yellow snow and ice weather advisory has been issued throughout the week, but some areas will see more than others.
The warning was implemented for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, but some areas in West Berkshire also received a warning for Tuesday.
Although Berkshire is unlikely to become a winter wonderland, snow and ice could cause major traffic and travel problems.
The warning for most of the county begins at 10 am on Wednesday and continues until 6 am on Thursday.
The warning has been given to most areas of southern England as winter weather really takes hold.
Areas like Reading are expected to feel like minus 4C, but the wind will drop considerably after Storm Bella.
So when will the first snowflakes appear in Berkshire? We have broken it down below:
Reading
The reading could see snow as early as tomorrow morning, with a 50 percent chance between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. The snow won’t return until fairly late in the week, Thursday night.
