Following the Met Office's recent forecast, we were all expecting the weather to take a colder turn this week after a relatively mild start to November. But some parts of the UK have woken up to the first snowfall of winter after the cold snap's abrupt arrival.

In the south west of England, temperatures fell to -2C in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The Met Office warned of a risk of ice in southern counties, thanks to a combination of wintry showers and road temperatures below freezing.

"Showers will continue for some this morning with sleet and snow over hills and in heavier downpours," the Met Office tweeted. "Under clearer skies in the southwest there could be some ice - have you got your scraper ready?"

In Brighton, residents were "taken by surprise" by the sight of snow, with drone shots showing the snowfall on Devil's Dyke in East Sussex.

Footage shared on social media also captured the snow flurries in Gloucestershire.

While further north in the Peak District, there was more than a light dusting...

Snowdon looked pretty spectacular after an overnight sprinkling of snow, although it's not set to last.

With brighter spells and warmer temperatures forecast for the weekend, it's unlikely we'll see more substantial snowfall this week, much to the disappointment of those who were hoping for a snow day. However, those in the north of the UK can expect another cold spell at the end of the month.

"In the last few days of November, skies will often be fairly cloudy, with the likelihood of some showers, which may bring hill snow to the north of the UK," the Met Office forecast states.

And if you haven't started wrapping up in your winter weather gear already, you'll want to by early December. The long-range outlook for Thursday 29 November to Thursday 13 December forecasts: "Temperatures are likely to be below average overall, with a greater incidence of frosts than usual and any milder interludes likely to be short lived. With more generally colder temperatures, there will be an increased chance of snow during spells of unsettled weather, especially for the north."

My visit to University of Indianapolis, or UIndy, reminded me once again of how important it is to take the time to visit a college or university. There are so many things you simply can not learn from a university website. After spending the majority of my life in Indiana, the physical therapy major and UIndy were synonymous in my mind. While it is true that UIndy has a large program in Pre-physical Therapy and Doctoral Physical Therapy, I spent my afternoon with a current junior undergrad student who is studying Communications at UIndy and loving it!

The University of Indianapolis campus is located on the Southeast side of Indianapolis just minutes from downtown. When speaking to students, they love the fact that this smallish school (approx 3000 undergrads) enjoys all the benefits of beautiful Indianapolis. A point of pride was hosting the New York Giants football team last year for practices for the Super Bowl on the Greyhound football field! With most freshmen living on campus in a handful of dorms, the opportunity to get to know other students is great. According to my tour guide, the RHA (Residence Hall Association) continues to work to provide fun activities and opportunities for students living on campus.

Commuter students looking for a place to hang out between classes enjoy the lounge areas in the Schwitzer Student Center. The only cafeteria on campus is located here as well, along with a "fast-food" line and convenient center. As is my tradition, I stopped by Schwitzer to buy a UIndy pennant for my collection.

Students have a variety of housing options to choose from, but any freshman choosing to live on campus their freshman year will live in either Cory Bretz Hall, Cravens Hall, or Warren Hall. Central Hall has suite style living and is available for freshmen admitted to the Honors College. In order to be admitted to the Honors College, you must graduate with a 3.8 GPA and have a combined score on the SAT of 1100, according to the admissions counselor I spoke with. UIndy currently does not have fraternities or sororities.

As for academic programs, it is always interesting to discover the niches of different schools. You don't have to look very far to find that UIndy has large Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs. Beyond that, the Criminal Justice program allows students to attend the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy as part of their studies. Check out the UIndy website for more information: http://socsci.uindy.edu/criminaljustice/index.php The admissions counselor also shared some interesting information about their anthropology major. For more information, check out: http://www.uindy.edu/cas/anthropology/majors .

***As always, this post represents impressions I have of this school based upon visiting the school. This is not an endorsement of University of Indianapolis for every student. For more information about University of Indianapolis, please visit the school. To arrange your own visit to University of Indianapolis: http://www.uindy.edu/admissions/visit-the-campus
