A weather advisory out on the Met Office site:

"There is a moderate risk of a severe event affecting parts of N
Ireland, N and W Wales, Scotland and NE and E England. Cold northerly
winds are expected to bring snow showers which could give temporary,
slight accumulations at lower levels. On higher ground accumulations
of 2-5 cm, and locally as much as 10 cm in N Scotland, are likely.
Drifting is also possible in the strong winds over the higher ground
in the North.

Issued at: 1255 Wed 2 Apr"

Such a shame the warmth to the end of the week is highly unlikely to
continue. So where might it snow and how much?

Note the combination of "severe weather event" and "sligh
accumulations. Is ANY snow in lowland areas now considered to be
severe weather?

It's a very vague forecast, and while it may be correct for Scotland, down
here in Snowdonia, i'm not so hopeful.

But I have a sleeper ticket to Corrour on Tuesday night, with a good chance
i'll see snow off the station and definately some snow up on the mountains.
Looking forward to the prospect of getting up and straight out of the Hostel
into snow. I managed that on a recent Lakes trip too, so hopefully my luck
will hold.

Makes up for the poor winter we've had down here (the only decent mountain
snow we've had was the last couple of weeks when i had other commitments).
Travelling to Scotland seems the only way to get some winter walking in
these days.
