During the day on Sunday, the clouds will gradually move back into the region as temperatures hit -4°C.
On the other hand, the windchill values will drop to around -10°C because of a southerly breeze.
It is possible that we will have a little snow on Monday, but we will start to experience wintery conditions by the middle of the week as we approach Christmas.
