Brace yourselves, Britain - winter is coming. Again.

Yup, just as they repeatedly warn us in Game Of Thrones, our lives are set to become disrupted when the weather turns foul.

Particularly commuters, as showers, wind, and heavy snow are set to wreak havoc with the UK's transport links.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "A cold and increasingly showery northwesterly flow is expected to develop during Wednesday and last through Thursday.

"Accumulating snow is likely away from windward coastal districts, especially overnight, with 2 to 5cm locally at low levels.

"Higher ground, above about 150m, could see in excess of 10cm."

They added: "Strong and gusty winds will likely accompany snow showers, and lead to significantly reduced visibility at times.

"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel."

Make sure you wrap up warm if you are venturing outside!
