This had ramifications for many across the city, as the frosty weather conditions led to bus route diversions across the city.
On Saturday (2 January), it is expected there will be plenty of sunshine throughout - while remaining cold due to an ‘ongoing breeze’, the Met Office has shared.
The Met Office has also stated that for Sunday (4 January) through to Tuesday (6 January).
The weather will be ‘cold but largely dry with winter sunshine by day and frost by night. Perhaps cloudier on Tuesday with some rain and hill snow possible.’
In addition to this, WX Charts has forecasted snow which could reach parts of Birmingham next week Wednesday (7 January).
Parts of Birmingham and the West Midlands may be buried in snow, according to WXCharts' weather map projections, which uses the colours blue and purple to indicate snowfall.
The Met Office has shared the reason behind this cold snap this New Year is due to the fact that cold Arctic air has reached most of the UK.
Chief Forecaster, Neil Armstrong, said “With Arctic air now covering most of the UK very cold weather will continue through the weekend, with minus double figures overnight in places and daytime temperatures struggling to rise above 0°C for some.
“It looks like this cold spell could last well into next week and wintry hazards will continue with more weather warnings likely. It is therefore important people keep up to date with the latest forecast and warnings and plan ahead.”
