The UK isn’t done with snow this January as a huge ‘wall of snow’ is set to bring up to 10cm of the white stuff this week.
The ‘freeze of the century’ has swept across the UK, bringing cold weather alerts and warnings for ice and snow across the country.
London could even see snowfall this week as The Met Office has warned temperatures this week will be 5-6°C colder than usual for this time of year.
The incoming Arctic blast will see temperatures dropping below freezing overnight, with weather charts predicting a major wall of snow will sweep in from the west.
Scotland will be hit with the white stuff first, with northern parts of the country set to receive around 10cm of snowfall in the early part of the week, with Northern Ireland also seeing up to 5cm of snow on higher ground.
By Tuesday morning, the wall of snow is set to start moving southward, with areas north of Manchester at risk of the snow settling.
And on Wednesday it’s thought another wall of snow will sweep in from the south, with up to 11cm predicted to fall in parts of Cornwall and Devon.
No matter how much snow ends up falling, it could be sticking around for days to come, as it may not be until heavy rainfall next week that the last of the white stuff is washed away.
Met Office meteorologist Conor Criswick said: ‘It is going to be feeling pretty chilly in the north of Scotland.
‘Throughout the week we are going to see more and more snow showers and warnings, towards the end of the week we will probably see an accumulation.
‘The warning is of 2cm to 5cm of snow, throughout the week there is the possibility we will see a build up of snow.
‘Snow showers will be moving inland. We are going to see showers feeding across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and mainly the east coast of England. It should be dry and bright inland.
‘On Tuesday, we are going to see more rain turning to snow moving east across the country, with more prolonged snow and more accumulations at low levels in the north of Scotland and northern England.
‘That’s where we could see 5cm or 10cm of snow in low-lying areas. There’s a very low chance the south might see a bit of it.’
