The Met Office forecast for the region reads: "Bright with sunny spells for many initially, then patchy cloud spreading east through the day.
"Mostly dry. Less cold than previous days but winds increasing later. Maximum temperature 3°C."
As for when we're next expected to see snow in Basingstoke, the Met Office isn't sure, but Atlantic frontal systems could bring colder weather across the country.
The possibility of snow in the town will depend on which way the winds blow and how they fall over the UK, so we could be seeing it again as soon as the weekend of Saturday, January 10.
